If you’ve ever asked Siri to call someone, like “call Bob,” and she responds with, “I can help with that if you turn on precise location for Siri,” you might wonder why your phone needs to know your exact location. It feels strange because making a call doesn’t seem to require knowing where you are.
The reason your phone needs Location Services enabled is related to giving you the best possible service. When you ask Siri to make a call, the device may need to access your location to ensure it finds the right person or the correct number. Sometimes, contacts could have multiple numbers, or the service might use location data to choose the best dialing method, especially if your contacts have different numbers depending on where you are.
Turning on Location Services helps Siri provide more accurate results, including making sure the right contact or the right number is called. If your phone asks you to enable precise location, it’s because the system wants to be certain of your exact position so that it can process your request smoothly.
To fix this, you can go to your phone’s settings, tap on Privacy, then Location Services, and make sure it’s turned on. If you want Siri to work better, especially for quick commands like calling someone, it’s a good idea to enable the precise location option for Siri. This way, your calls and requests will go through more smoothly and accurately.
