The "user denied geolocation" error in Safari on iOS means the user has previously declined location access for the current website or app. This can happen if the user has previously chosen "Never" or "Ask Next Time" when prompted by the browser or website. To resolve this, the user needs to grant the app location permission.
Here's how to troubleshoot and fix this issue:
1. Check Location Services in iOS Settings:
Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services.
Find the specific app (e.g., Safari Websites) and ensure it is set to "While Using the App" or "Always". If it's set to "Never," change it.
2. Reset Location Warnings:
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Location Warnings. This can help clear any previous denials that are blocking access.
3. Update Safari (or the App):
Make sure you have the latest version of Safari or the app causing the error. Outdated versions might have compatibility issues.
4. Clear Browser Cache (if applicable):
If you're using a third-party browser, clearing its cache might help. Go to Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Storage > Clear Cache.
5. Reinstall the App (last resort):
Uninstalling and reinstalling the app can sometimes reset permissions.
