Why is my location icon always on iPhone?
There are a few possible reasons why your location icon might always be on. One possibility is that you have Location Services turned on in your Settings. Another possibility is that you have an app that is constantly using your location, such as a mapping or navigation app.
If you’re not sure why your location icon is always on, you can check your Location Services settings by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services. If Location Services is turned on, you can see which apps are using your location by scrolling down to the list of apps.
If you don’t want an app to use your location, you can turn off Location Services for that app. To do this, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, and then tap the app in the list. You can also turn off Location Services for all apps by tapping the slider at the top of the screen.
How do I know which app is using my location?
There are a few ways to determine which app is using your location.
1. Check your location settings: Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services. Here you will see a list of apps that have recently used your location. The list will also show you which apps are currently using your location.
2. Check your battery usage: Go to Settings > Battery. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see a list of apps and the percentage of battery they are using. This can be a good indicator of which apps are using your location, as apps that use location services will typically use more battery power.
3. Check for notifications: Some apps will display a notification when they are using your location. If you see a notification from an app that you don’t recognize, it may be using your location.
If you’re still not sure which app is using your location, you can try disabling location services for all apps and then re-enabling them one by one. This will help you narrow down the culprit.
