Users complain of Location Services bug following installation of macOS Ventura 13.5 update

If you’ve had some bugginess with macOS’ Location Services feature since installing macOS Ventura 13.5, you’re not alone.

The update, released by Apple on July 24, has drawn complaints from users who updated to the new software and then were unable to access and control location permissions for first and third-party apps.

Under System Settings > Privacy and Security > Location Services, ‌macOS Ventura‌ 13.5 has no apps listed. Users cannot toggle location services for apps on or off, nor can they see which apps have access to their location information at the current time.

In cases where a newly installed app attempts to request location services, there seems to be no option to enable it for that app, thereby nullifying that app’s location-based functionality. The location bug apparently surfaced with the macOS Ventura 13.5 update.

Apple has yet to publicly comment as to the existence of the bug, offer workarounds, or declare when a fix will be released to resolve this issue.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
