Google search keep asking me for my location in Safari?!

[yalag]

I dont know when this started but whenever I do a search in google in Safari, the first thing it does when it loads the result is to ask for my location. It's so annoying!! I can dismiss it by saying no, but then it would come back tomorrow.

How do I stop this from asking forever?!?

Yep, this just started recently. But maybe someone saw your post and changed something, because I can't reproduce it now.

It's not bothering anyone else? Seriously?

I haven't had that come up with my searches.

It doesn't always do it and I've only seen it happen on my iPad. I share my location on my iPad via my iPhone so I wonder if that's got anything to do with it?

I spoke too soon,

I found threads about this all over the internet, going back to 2013. On Google's product forum their answer was you should run Chrome instead, LOL.

Anyway, I'm not "private browsing", and I cleared the cache and cookies... didn't help.

Same I'm not using private browsing. It's really quite ridiculous of Google

I have Safari Websites set to "Never" in Location Services settings on my phone, perhaps that is why I never get such prompts that I don't care for?

It never a stops no matter if I accept or allow I just keeps asking for each new page I open.


HELP!

Force close the app.

Go to settings -> privacy -> location services

Disable Safari toggle

Google keeps saving search history no matter how many time I change their setting too, any one knows how to stop that?

 

[Imola Ghost]

I do t mind it using my location. I just don't want it to keep asking even when I select allow.

 

[Imola Ghost]

Mine is doing the same. I don't mind it using my location but when I select ALLOW it should remember.

 

[M. Gustave]

Force close the app.

Go to settings -> privacy -> location services

Disable Safari toggle

Then you won't get any location based search results, which are incredibly useful.

This is a relatively recent issue, it happens all the time now, and it never used to. I've never changed any location services or Safari settings.

I am convinced that google is built by satan
