In order to provide with a wide variety of services, the location or GPS is enabled on the realme smartphone by default.

The services include, for example, retrieving the weather in the region or navigation via a third-party app on the device.

Note: The use of the location can be enabled or disabled at any time in the general settings or in the quick settings of the status bar.

Turn On/Off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth Scanning to Improve Location Accuracy

In order to determine the location of the realme smartphone as accurately as possible, the search via nearby Bluetooth and Wi-Fi networks can be activated in addition to the internal GPS, whereby apps and corresponding services can access the functions even if they are disabled.

Note: The Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth search can be enabled or disabled individually at any time.

Turn On/Off Google Location Accuracy

Google's location accuracy on the realme smartphone uses various sources, such as radio networks, Wi-Fi networks and other sensors, to determine the most accurate GPS positioning possible.
Google also collects anonymous location data to improve the location determination.

Note: If the function is disabled, this may have an effect on the location determination in "Maps" and for "Find My Device", since only the internal GPS of the device is used.
