Location icon constantly keeps popping up

[lower]

I have noticed that on this latest update the location icon keeps popping up in the status bar more than what it should be it didn't do that before this update is anyone experiencing the same issue

Do you want emergency services to be able to find you in case of an emergency?

[john112233]

Yes but its constantly checking every few minutes, not in emergency call

This is normal, it takes a peek for a split second. The only reason you are now noticing it, you keep checking for it. It is not draining your battery anymore than it previously was.

With the new One UI 7 update, my location services WILL NOT turn off on both my S25s. Tried everything (reinstalling Play services, force stopping, etc.) and it does not solve this problem. 

Only disabling Location Accuracy and restarting the phone seemed to solve the issue temporarily. Even then, the phone is pulling location every 3-5 minutes for something that it wasn't pulling before the update. Samsung, please fix this ASAP as I have seen MANY phones suffering this post-update.

I would check which apps are using location

[Robin621k]

It is a stupid thing to add, I know how to check for myself what is using my location!

[Robin621k]

Afraid you can't!

It isn't a battery drainer, just don't like that it is always there.

You can remove it with Goodlock QuickStar module from the homescreen.

I have a s25 ultra. It came with one ui 7. I'm having the exact same issue after the new April update AP3A that came out today. It did not used to do this with location when I bought the phone.
