What Does it Mean By "Use Current Location" On my iPhone 10Pts? - NeNe - 10-08-2012 12:41 PM
whenever i go on facebook check in place or log into twitter, it is saying that those apps want to use my current location. am i supposed to hit "Dont Allow" or "Allow"?? And what does it exactly do??

"Allow" gives the app permission to view your location on a map.
If you allow it, it can know where you are when you "Check In" on facebook. [Probably even whenever it wants too]

Some apps show where you live (like fb and twitter) so it will ask if you want to show it publicly. If you don't want people to know where you live (its only city or state, not like address) press Don't allow. If you don't care then press allow.

You could pick either. It let's you track you location so if you were checking it it would list places around you so it is faster and easier to you. No check in data is kept by your survive carrier. Some people think that there is a conspiracy with it but no. No there isn't.
