Hi, I bought a iPhone XS Max yesterday after only using Android before. Sometime earlier today, I noticed that the location icon was constantly on when using App Store. A friend of mine says that when he enters the App Store, it goes away after 15s, but for me, the location icon stays indefinitely. I turned Location for App Store off for now.
Could I have your experiences when it comes to location and App Store? Is it a known issue?
Thanks.

The reason that the icon appears is because the Apple application store uses your location to find the most popular searches and applications in your location. To make the icon disappear, either turn off the icon in settings > privacy > location services > system services or turn off location services for the App Store as you have done.
Any app using your location will display that icon. UNLESS, you turn the icon off by going to settings>privacy>location services>system services - turn off Status Bar Icon.
it is supposed to stay on the while using the app.
Thanks for you assistance, guys. The only thing I am left wondering is your experience for the duration of the symbol being on. Does it stay on for you no matter how long you are in the app? If I stay in the app 5 minutes, it’ll be on for the whole time. Is that normal?
