Compass can’t access location service on new Apple Watch Series 5. I can’t get the Compass app to access my location to display elevation and lat/long. I tried Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch. Tap Privacy > Location Services > Compass. And I tried selecting While Using App but I can’t select it. It just stays on the Never selection. Any help would be appreciated.

Can't change location services on my compass WHY? It's stuck on Never. I just got a new apple watch today, and was checking out the compass, it asked if I wanted to allow location services but accidentally hit no. I have gone to settings, Privacy, location services and clicked on compass I have 3 options Never (which is checked) and Ask Next Time and While Using the App. Assuming I could change it with a tap on other options, but nope. Can't get rid of the check mark on the Never option. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your time and help. Ronna

Compass app on Apple Watch SE I can’t change my location setting on compass and I’m assuming that’s what’s preventing it from doing anything at all (it does nothing and I’m guessing where there should be number or letters there is just dots. I’ve done this below and it won’t let me select anything it’s just stuck on Never. Any advice would be welcome? thank you When you open Compass for the first time, it requests permission to access your location. Tap While Using the App to grant permission. If Compass doesn't see your location, check its settings: Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch. Tap Privacy > Location Services > Compass. Tap While Using the App

Thanks Fiery Jack. I can now get Latitude and longitude, but the compass needle doesn’t move
