    OPPO smartphones' Location Services

    Turning on Location Services is very important to some apps so it will have real-time information as to where you are. These are some of the things you can do when your Location Service is enabled:

    • Real-time clock/time zone wherever you are in the world.

    • Update weather conditions wherever you are in the world.

    • Ride-service hailing (Grab, Uber, Lyft, Didi, Ola, and others)

    • Food Delivery Services

    • Geotagging videos and images

    Note: Apps like Maps, Weather, and Compass must know your exact position before they can provide accurate services and results.


    Turn on Location Service

    • Swipe down from the top of the screen to open Control Center, then tap the [Location] icon  .

    • You can also go to [Settings] > [Google] > [Location] and toggle the slider to green. 

      • For ColorOS 11 and above: Go to your OPPO smartphone's [Settings] > [Location] > Enable the location by toggling the switch to green.

    You can choose from three types of positioning modes, which differ in accuracy and battery drain:

    1. High accuracy (GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile network).

    2. Battery saving (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile network).

    3. The device only (GPS).


    History of recent location requests

    You'll see a list of apps that have requested locations. Tap an app to enter the App info page that allows you to manage the app directly.

    • For ColorOS 11 and above: Go to your OPPO smartphone's [Settings] > [Location] > Under the Recent Location Requests, you can manage the application that recently used your OPPO smartphone's location.


    Positioning Control

    • Apps that use GPS in the background: This allows the app to use GPS in the background when enabled. Keeping the background GPS of the apps active may drain the battery significantly.

    • Scan: This allows you to scan Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to improve location accuracy.


    Google Location service

    To enable location services for Google, go to your OPPO smartphone's [Settings] > [App management] > [App list] > Then look for Google > [Permissions] > [Location] > Then tap on [Allow all the time].

    • Use Google Location History to retrace your steps. Google Location History will customize search results for location and search history.

    • Use Google Location Sharing to share your locations with friends and contacts in real time.
