# significantLocationChangeMonitoringAvailable()

Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the significant-change location service is available on the device.

```
class func significantLocationChangeMonitoringAvailable() -> Bool
```

## Return Value

<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> if location change monitoring is available; <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false> if it is not.

## Discussion

This method indicates whether the device is able to report updates based on significant location changes only. This capability provides tremendous power savings for apps that want to track a user’s approximate location and don’t need highly accurate position information.
