macOS 13.5.1 Update Fixes Location Permissions Bug

Apple’s New macOS Ventura Update – Location Permissions Fixed!

Apple just dropped Patch 13.5.1 for macOS Ventura, squashing a head‑scratcher that kept the location permission setting out of sight. The new fix is a single line of code that brings the menu back to the System Settings page where you need it.

What’s going wrong?

  • The Location Services permissions tab mysteriously vanished for many users.
  • Even after the big 13.5 release, folks found themselves stuck when trying to tweak location access.

How the fix helps

  • Now the settings pop right up again, making it easy to turn location services on or off.
  • No more guessing games or sifting through hidden menus.

Quick reminder

Just go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services and you’ll see the options you need. If they’re still missing, install 13.5.1 and you’re good to go.

Apple’s Cupertino team said this patch “fixes an issue in System Settings that prevents location permissions from appearing,” so all you tech‑bugged Mac users can breathe a little easier. Happy surfing!
