Re: How to tell what is using your location services

Hi!
Incoming notifications are part of the push notifications service
which should differ from the location services. It is expected fro
user to want some notifications while app is not running or it is
removed from the switcher but there's no need for location service
to be turned on if the user are not actively using the app depending
on te location. GPS extended usage drains battery a lot more than
notifications and user should know if some apps are using GPS when
completely turned off.

Hello Mary,

I am confident that disabling the Background App Refresh service is the solution to your problem to the extent that the location services icon will no longer be displayed in your status bar when an app is not actively using it.

The funny thing is that even when the Background App Refresh service is disabled, many apps continue to run in the background, even when not in the app switcher.  For example, I continue to receive notifications from the Facebook app, the Twitter app, the native mail app, my banking apps, and several other popular third-party apps.

Hi Gordon,
Oh, I am not saying that the problem has been solved. I was just able to find the setting that Mark was talking about, and discovered that I had not turned it off. So I did so. Now, if over the next several days, I don't see that location services thing in my status bar, I will have to suppose that it did indeed solve the problem. The question as to why is still a Mistry, since the app switcher is empty when that location services thing shows up.

If I recall correctly, you said you've been noticing Location Services icon even when the apps which use Location Services was completely turned off from the App Switcher.
The setting you just disabled is relevant to the apps still beeing in the background, meaning beeing available through the App Switcher allowing them to refresh or not refresh while there and should not have any impact to completely turned off apps.
Again, I'm glad it works for you but I suspect something else is goin on there.

I'm glad you solved the problem but it's still pretty unlogical to

Services icon even when the apps which use Location Services was

The setting you just disabled is relevant to the apps still beeing

Re: How to tell what is using your location services

[Mary Otten]

Hi Keith, yes I know they're there are those apps that say always. I just 
authorized one, a GPS app I am beta testing. In the explanation for what 
"always" means, they say it refers to when the app is running in the 
background. So, if the app is closed out of the app switcher, really closed, it 
shouldn't be needing services. Or so that explanation implied to me anyway.

RE: How to tell what is using your location services

[Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.]

Hi,

I know when some apps ask for permission to location services, they specify, 
"Only when app is running," but other apps specify , "Always allow access to 
Location Services." Off the top of my head, I can't give any examples other 
than perhaps  I do recall that the app "Where to" is one of the Always apps. 
And some of the Weather Alert apps may be like this, too.

Keith

Hello Mary,

You know, you raise an interesting subject that has been in the back of my mind 
for quite some time but in the reverse, in my case.  When I look at my friends' 
phones, I very often see the location service indicator in their status bar 
even when, like you, a location based app is not being used.  

However, although I use many of the same apps as they, and doubtless countless 
others, I never, and I do mean, never, see the location services indicator in 
my phone's status bar when those apps are either closed or not tracking my 
location.

The only thing that I can contribute to this is that I have disabled the 
Background App Refresh service, on my phone.

By default, frequent locations are tracked and stored on your device. You can
