    Tap one of the three available options for how location services should be used by TripAdvisor. There will be a checkmark to the right of the current option. For example, if location services are currently disabled for TripAdvisor, the checkmark will be next to 'Never', indicating the application will never be able to use location services. The second option is 'While Using the App', which indicates the app will be able to use location services, but only while it is open. The third option is 'Always', which indicates the app will always be able to use location services, regardless of whether it is open or not. In this example, we will use 'While Using the App', as there is no reason for the app to use our location while we are not using the app, and it may decrease battery life if an app is using location services in the background.
