Why is my location wrong on my iPhone Google?

It’s possible that your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn’t able to determine where you are at the moment. In Settings > Privacy > Location Services, ensure that Location Services is on and that Maps is set to When Using the App or Widget. Please check the date and time and time zone settings on your device before continuing.

Why does Google keep changing my location?

If you’re not signed in to your Google Account, Google may store some location information from previous searches from the device you’re using to help give you more relevant results and suggestions. If you turn off Search customization, Google won’t use what you’ve searched for in the past to figure out where you are.
