- Fixed one last mistake with my previous commit. I have gone over everything before submitting and triple checked, so this should be my last commit of the night. I do apologize.

- Added a new section that guides users to Location Services -> System Services, allowing them to customize which system services they want to have location enabled for if they choose to leave it on.

- Additionally, users can also scroll down and stop location analytics data from being sent to Apple to be used to improve Apple Maps

- Added additional information about Location Services which was not there previously, which is below

- Clarified that a purple arrow indicates an item has used location recently, while a grey arrow indicates an item has used location within the last 24 hours

- Also added that App Tracking is disabled for Apple users under the age of 18

**Location Services** allows you to use features like Find My and Maps. If you don't need these features, you can disable Location Services. Alternatively, you can review and pick which apps can use your location here. Select **Location Services**:

- [ ] Turn off **Location Services**

A purple arrow will appear next to an app in these settings that has used your location recently, while a gray arrow indicates that your location has been accessed within the last 24 hours. If you decide to leave Location Services on, Apple will use it for System Services by default. You can review and pick which services can use your location here. However, if you don't want to submit location analytics to Apple, which they use to improve Apple Maps, you can disable this here as well. Select **System Services**:

- [ ] Turn off **iPhone Analytics**
- [ ] Turn off **Routing & Traffic**
- [ ] Turn off **Improve Maps**

You can decide to allow apps to request to **track** you here. Disabling this disallows all apps from tracking you with your phone's advertising ID. Select **Tracking**:

- [ ] Turn off **Allow Apps to Request to Track**

This is disabled by default and cannot be changed for users under 18.

You should turn off **Research Sensor & Usage Data** if you don't wish to participate in studies. Select **Research Sensor & Usage Data**:

- [ ] Turn off **Sensor & Usage Data Collection**
