iOS 7: Data protection settings for the map app

Under iOS 7 you can individually adjust the data protection settings of the map app and, for example, switch off the new "Frequent Places" function. We show you how it works.

Change the privacy settings of the iOS 7 card app

1. Start the "Settings" on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Select the menu item "Data protection" and open the item "Location services".
3. A list shows you all apps that can access the location service. You can deactivate access for each app.
4. At the bottom of the list you will find the item "System Services". There are additional data protection settings for the map app here - for example, the new functions of iOS 7 such as "Frequent places" or "Popular nearby". Deactivate the services that you do not want to use by tapping the control so that it no longer lights up green.
