Somewhat related: I want Location Services on when navigating and off at almost all other times.

Why isn't there a control I can put in control center to toggle Location Services? Instead it takes 4-5 actions to do this. I was hoping Shortcuts would make this possible, but no. It's almost as if Apple wants to make it difficult...



IIRC you can do it in one step by telling Siri to do it. Not ideal, obviously. You might be able to create a shortcut to tell Siri to do it, which would then make it a one click option, not in control center but on your home screen.

Without a conspiratorial slant, the mostly commonly-used services have a control center toggle, and your use case is very, very, very much an edge case. It hardly seems like a priority to create a control center toggle that will show up on everybody's phone for the one person (you) that will ever use it.

At some point, perhaps we'll be able to add arbitrary shortcuts to control center, but I doubt it.


Forums suggest that there are others who are also interested in this ability.
