region tracking appear in the status bar?, in other words, should I keep it on?

Do you have any sort of home automation devices such as a connected thermostat, Ring video doorbell, smart lock, lights etc? Often they use geofencing to track whether you are home or not. Another area as I said is the system area where you have things like time zone, location based reminders etc. Lastly, when did you update? Did you close all apps before updating and do a reboot of the phone? These are not things Apple may officially recommend, but I find it’s good practice and it can avoid issues, even better is to do a Reset Network Settings after you close all apps in the app switcher and before you do a major update. Another consideration is this: somebody had posted an article where the author said that often after an update the iPhone may drain more rapidly for a few days because iOS is doing a lot of reindexing of files and so on. If you updated recently have you done an additional reboot after your phone came back up after the update, i.e. turn it off completely for a minute or so, then turn it back on? If you have or if that doesn’t help I suggest you try to go to Settings > General > Reset and do a Reset Network Settings now, it can still do a lot of good. Make sure you quit all apps in the app switcher first and remember that you need your WiFi password since you have to reconnect to your WiFi after a Reset Network Settings. Also, if you had called your iPhone something like “John’s iPhone” you have to go to Settings> General > About and edit the name to what you want, during a reset network settings it is reset to simply “iPhone”. Finally, if all that doesn’t help and you already upgraded last Monday and the battery still drains very fast then you may have to do what Mario had to do with his iPhone SE which is to do a complete restore to factory settings and set up the phone from scratch. At times things can get messed up during an upgrade.

My battery power is dropping and I realized that Region tracking appeared in the status bar. Under settings, (privacy) I turned location services off. Region tracking no longer appears in the status bar. However, my battery is still dropping. (1) should region tracking appear in the status bar? (2) are there other features that should be disabled in IOS 8 to avoid the droppage in battery power? Thank you. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
