I dont know when this started but whenever I do a search in google in Safari, the first thing it does when it loads the result is to ask for my location. It's so annoying!! I can dismiss it by saying no, but then it would come back tomorrow.

How do I stop this from asking forever?!?

It doesn't always do it and I've only seen it happen on my iPad. I share my location on my iPad via my iPhone so I wonder if that's got anything to do with it?

I found threads about this all over the internet, going back to 2013. On Google's product forum their answer was you should run Chrome instead, LOL.

Anyway, I'm not "private browsing", and I cleared the cache and cookies... didn't help.

Same I'm not using private browsing. It's really quite ridiculous of Google

I have Safari Websites set to "Never" in Location Services settings on my phone, perhaps that is why I never get such prompts that I don't care for?

Google keeps saving search history no matter how many time I change their setting too, any one knows how to stop that?

I do t mind it using my location. I just don't want it to keep asking even when I select allow.

Mine is doing the same. I don't mind it using my location but when I select ALLOW it should remember.
