Websites in Safari often bug you to let them access your location services to detect where you are. You can turn off those prompts on iPhone and iPad and even prevent the browser from accessing location services altogether. Let’s explore this feature.
This is for iPhone and iPad using Safari. Screenshots are from iPhone XR
