iOS 26.3 Adds Privacy Setting to Limit Carrier Location Tracking

With iOS 26.3, Apple is adding a new "limit precise location" setting that reduces the location data available to mobile networks to increase user privacy. Mobile networks determine location based on the cellular towers that a device connects to, but with the setting enabled, some of the data typically made available to mobile networks is being restricted. Rather than being able to see location down to a street address, carriers will instead be limited to the neighborhood where a device is located, for example. According to a new support document , iPhone models from supported network providers will offer the limit precise location feature. In the U.S., only Boost Mobile will support the option.

The iOS 26.3 update will launch to the public in the coming weeks.
