iPhone Tips: Turn off the WiFi tracking feature on iPhone right now, otherwise these damages will happen..

If you are an iPhone user and are cautious about your privacy, then this information is very important for you. iPhone has a feature that can track your movement and network activity even without your knowledge. This feature is called WiFi tracking.

Although Apple claims that this feature is for better network performance and location-based services, sometimes this feature has a bad effect on both your location privacy and battery.

What is iPhone's WiFi tracking feature?

iPhone has a setting called Networking & Wireless. This feature tracks your location with the help of nearby WiFi networks through location service, even if you have not turned on WiFi.

This means that even when your WiFi is off, the phone keeps scanning the network in the background and keeps sending information related to your location.

Why is it necessary to turn it off?

This can put your privacy at risk. Your location data can be shared without your consent. The battery runs out quickly, and the phone continuously scans the network. This raises questions about the safety of your data. Many times, third-party apps can misuse this information. The risk of hacking through tracking increases when connecting to public WiFi.

How to turn off the WiFi tracking feature?

It is very easy to turn off WiFi tracking on an iPhone. Just follow the steps given below. For this, first go to Settings. Scroll down and go to the Privacy & Security. Now, click on Location Services. After this, go to the bottom and select System Services. Here, the option of Networking and Wireless will be shown. Click on it and Toggle Off.

Keep these things in mind.

Turning off this feature will not stop your phone from connecting to WiFi. It will only stop WiFi tracking related to your location. Apple may show a pop-up that says this may affect the WiFi connection, and you click on Turn Off.
