Have you noticed that your iPhone has learned information about you, such as the geographic location of your home or work? This is occurring with the help of the Frequent Locations feature on the device. But if you would prefer that your iPhone not have that information, you can elect to turn it off.

Our guide below will walk you through the process of configuring your Location Services so that you can turn off the Frequent Locations option.
