After the OneUI 7 update, location services stays on consistently. Especially the below services constantly keeps requesting location

Tried, uninstalling and reinstalling Google Play Services. But once I turn on Location Accuracy, the Location request is back on consistently.

Update: The only thing that resolved this issue was a factory reset.

I just updated I haven't had the chance to confirm whether or not I'm also dealing with this issue but now I've got something to keep an eye on

I don't recommend uninstalling Google Play Services, since it will result in resetting most of your Google account features. It's normal for location services to request your location, since many system apps use it. Try opening your settings menu, selecting application permissions, and then selecting "Show system apps". Location this will show you what apps are requesting the location

It's the same apps I mentioned in the screenshot that constantly accesses Location

Google Play Service
Continuity Service

Google Play Services controls location sharing, Maps and other Features, It's normal for The Continuity Services to request your location,,The continue on other devices uses it,

I understand that. But does it have to request location every minute?

[gopicharan]

Because this was not the case with previous OneUI 6. It still would request location. But not continuously all the time.

Try opening your Settings menu, selecting application permissions, and checking each application for location requests. Try disabling some apps. Make sure you enable "Show system apps" in the permission manager.

It's the same apps I mentioned that requests location. At this point, all these seem like ways to comprise to solve the issue. I just want Samsung acknowledge this and work on a fix.

I'm not sure what is causing the problem. I have no issues with location services running in the background. Location services are based on Google Play services. Make sure you update Google Play services and Google Play system. Uninstalling Google Play services is not recommended. Try turning off auto-sync on your accounts. Also, are you sharing your location with anyone?
