iPhone Location Services is grayed out

I cannot turn on location services. It's grayed out. How do I get it back? I tried rebooting my phone, and still the same problem. I'm not able to use my mapping apps.

Never mind. I kept searching after posting this and found something similar posted.


For anyone looking, it's under Screen Time and Content & Privacy Restrictions...in there scroll down to the Privacy Section and "allow" Location Services. That will UN-gray your location services in the Privacy section of settings.
