Just noticed that with IOS18, for perspective even with location services on/always the chrome browser is not passing location data through. Its OK if using the Ignition app and no previous problems with IOS17.  
Any ideas?

edit: same challenge in Google and Safari when using perspective

Have you noticed the issue in other applications on the device running iOS 18?

It seems like multiple users that have updated to iOS 18 are experiencing location issues on other applications.

I found this video it may help you:
