As iOS doesn't have a native callback/notification when user change global location service settings, we cannot handle it directly. But you can club

[CLLocationManager locationServicesEnabled]

with

-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didChangeAuthorizationStatus:(CLAuthorizationStatus)status { //Check new status }

to achieve the desired effect like:

-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didChangeAuthorizationStatus:(CLAuthorizationStatus)status
{
 if (![ CLLocationManager locationServicesEnabled]) {
  //perform action when location service is disabled
  }
}

Although do understand that if the permission is already denied and the location settings are changed, you wont get this callback.

Use delagte method of CLLocationManager

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didChangeAuthorizationStatus:(CLAuthorizationStatus)status

These are the CLAuthorizationStatus description in documentation:

    > typedef enum {
    >     kCLAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined = 0, // User has not yet made a choice with regards to this application
    >     kCLAuthorizationStatusRestricted,        // This application is not authorized to use location services.  Due
    >                                              // to active restrictions on location services, the user cannot change
    >                                              // this status, and may not have personally denied authorization
    >     kCLAuthorizationStatusDenied,            // User has explicitly denied authorization for this application, or
    >                                              // location services are disabled in Settings
    >     kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorized         // User has authorized this application to use location services 
} CLAuthorizationStatus;

You can do it using the locationManager:didChangeAuthorizationStatus: method:

-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didChangeAuthorizationStatus:(CLAuthorizationStatus)status
{
  //Check new status
}
