Safari wrong location

Safari always thinks I’m in Wisconsin. I’m not.

Why does safari always assume I’m in another state? This also happens with other apps that want to show me default nearby stores. How do I fix?

Resetting Location Services


The software that runs your iPhone is complicated. It’s possible that a setting has changed and needs to be corrected before you can also fix your incorrect iPhone location. Thankfully, you can reset all of your Location Services settings. Just open Settings and tap General -> Reset -> Reset Location & Privacy.


You’ll need to enter your iPhone passcode to reset your Location Services. This will change your location and privacy settings back to the way they were when you first got your iPhone. Do this, and then try using an app like Maps or Weather again.
