Smart phone as GPS device

I would like to to have my IPhone to be able to act like a GPS device that easily defined within ArcGIS Pro environment. That being said, I would like to able to activate GPS tracking in ArcGIS Pro using my IPhone.

Do see this post Getting started with configuring GNSS devices in A... - Esri Community

It worked for Android phones, not sure about iPhones, but I suspect it should work if you can find the right app.

Hi @YousifAlmamalachy! This Idea has been set to "Needs Clarification" for a bit. I will be closing it as we haven't gotten the additional information we would need to consider this. Thanks for your continued engagement on Esri Community.
