My Location
Your device is equipped with a Location feature for use in connection with location-based
services.
The Location feature allows the network to detect your position. Turning Location off will hide
your location from everyone except 911.
●
Turning Location on will allow the network to detect your position using GPS technology,
making some Sprint applications and services easier to use. Turning Location off will
disable the GPS location function for all purposes except 911, but will not hide your
general location based on the cell site serving your call. No application or service may
use your location without your request or permission. GPS-enhanced 911 is not
available in all areas.
