2. Click on Continue, when prompted.
3. Click on the option, “This is My iPhone” and select “Content & Privacy Restrictions.”
4. Firstly, enable “Content & Privacy Restrictions” and click on “Location Services”
5. Enable “Location Services”, which then displays the list of apps which require location
permission. Also, please verify if Scalefusion MDM app has the permission set as “Always” or
“While using the app.”
6. Once verified, select the option “Don't Allow Changes” to prevent turning off “Location
Services” on iPhone.
7. Now, go back to “Screen Time” and click on the option “Use Screen Time Passcode” and set a
passcode for Screen Time, which prevents the device user from modifying the settings without
the passcode.
To disable, you would need to go to Screen Time and click on Turn Off Screen Time and provide
the passcode, when prompted.
On devices running below iOS 12:
1. Navigate to Settings -> General -> Restrictions.
2. Click on Enable Restrictions and specify a restrictions passcode, when prompted.
3. Navigate to Privacy section and select Location Services.
4. Enable the Location Services option. Under the Location Services menu, all the apps installed in
the device are listed. You can disable/ enable Location Services for the apps here.
5. Once this has been configured and the settings saved, the Location Services cannot be modified
for the existing apps. If any new app is installed after the settings has been configured, Location
Services will not be granted to the app. To modify Location Services for the apps, the settings has
to be re-configured.
6. Finally, select the option Don't Allow Changes in the Location Services menu, which ensure
the settings configured in the previous steps cannot be modified by the users. To disable, you need
to navigate to Settings -> General -> Restrictions, clicking on Disable Restrictions and specifying
the restrictions passcode when prompted.
To apply this restriction to keep location always turned on for multiple devices, take a backup of a
device after disabling location services and restore the backup on multiple devices using the steps
given here.
NOTE: In case of devices whose OS has been updated from iOS 11.x to iOS 12.x, you need to
disable Location Services again, Apple moved it from Restrictions to Screen Time
