How to hide status bar message when app is using background location services in iOS

I want to hide message that appears on status bar in blue colour on iOS devices, when i minimise my app using location services in background mode.

Solution

  • You can use requestAlwaysAuthorization instead of requestWhenInUseAuthorization on CLLocationManager (and provide the related NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription in the info.plist file), and then it will not appear either.
