For many apps a position determination via GPS is used. For example, within Pokémon GO the location determination is performed to navigate the map. On the Samsung Galaxy S7 there are three different methods for the location determination.
In order to ensure optimal location determination, the Option "GPS, W-Lan and mobile networks" should be activated. With our guide you can quickly check, if on your Samsung Galaxy S7 the above-mentioned search method of the GPS is activated.
To do this open the menu and then the settings of your Android operating system. Here you have to navigate to "Privacy and Security". You will then find the menu item "Location" within the submenu that opens.
