# locationServicesEnabled

A Boolean value indicating whether location services are enabled on the device.

## Declaration

```swift
var locationServicesEnabled: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion In iOS, the user can enable or disable location services using the controls in Settings > Location Services. In macOS, the user can enable or disable location services from the Security & Privacy system preference. If this property contains the value false and you start location updates anyway, the Core Location framework prompts the user with a confirmation alert asking whether location services should be reenabled. Special Considerations In iOS, this property is declared as nonatomic. In macOS, it is declared as atomic.
