Why is my phone’s GPS inaccurate or not working?
GPS issues can be due to poor signal, app settings, or software glitches.
If your phone’s GPS isn’t working properly, start by making sure location services are enabled and have the necessary permissions. Try turning on 'High Accuracy' mode in the location settings to use Wi-Fi and mobile networks along with GPS for better precision. Restart your device, as this can reset temporary bugs. Stand in an open area with a clear view of the sky to improve signal strength, as buildings and other obstacles can interfere with GPS. Additionally, clearing the cache for your GPS-enabled apps can improve performance. Updating your device’s software and maps can also help, as they often include improvements for GPS accuracy. If these steps don’t solve the issue, a hardware problem with the GPS antenna may require professional assistance.
