To turn on GPS aka Location on your phone, you just need to tap on the Location icon which is available on the notification tray. Now, that’s pretty simple as you literally just have to tap on it to turn it on. But many times, it happens that the GPS doesn’t start even if the location is on. If that’s the case with your phone, simply turn it off, wait for few seconds, and then, turn it on. This will kick start the GPS services on your phone and hopefully, it will commence working but if not, here’s how you can do with other methods mentioned below.
Turn On/off Airplane mode
If the previous method doesn’t kick starts the GPS services on your phone, it could be due to minor technical or software-related glitch or a tiny bug that might have obstructed the feature from turning on. So, the best way to tackle this is to turn on the airplane mode or say, flight mode and keep it active for few seconds. Once you have deactivated it, the location services must start working without further ado.
