- tapland 7y agoYes, you can disable supplementary data (Location from WiFi Hotspots nearby) but not NILR (Network Initiated Location Request). > Disabling EED will not affect the regular NILR process: Emergency location data requested by the user’s carrier network will still be shared in accordance with the technology and policies of the network operator, and as required by law. That quote is from this document: Enhanced Emergency Data, Apple, August 2018 (not sure about sharing rights, but I could find it by googling that name or quote). It (AML, NILR like service) rolled out here in Sweden last week.

I think that slider is for Apple’s SOS features, which go beyond the legal requirements: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208076 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208076 > After an emergency call ends, your iPhone alerts your emergency contacts with a text message, unless you choose to cancel. Your iPhone sends them your current location, and, for a period of time after you enter SOS mode, it sends updates to your emergency contacts when your location changes.
