Add location services toggle to the control center

Apple must add a location on/off toggle as a iOS Control Center option in the earliest possible v.next release. These days informed users aren’t walking around with location services “On” - they turn it on when they need it and off when done. Apple seems to purposely make it difficult to toggle location services on/off with (5) or more nav steps. There are many reasons this toggle needs to be a “swipe” action like a Control Center widget beyond privacy and ergonomics, such as safety when launching a map app.

Hopefully someone from Apple will comment.

iPhone 6s, iOS 12

Location Services also has the option to go into each app and select if you want to Always Allow, while using the App or never for location services.

Thank you for the reply.

I’m familiar with the App level location settings. Those are a different level of interaction than the location on/off “switch”. This legacy design of where the highly dynamic location on/off switch and the near static app level location settings are co-located is not a constraint. The switch is already a widget that could be made into a control center object in a few days. Leave the legacy location the way it is for now. Just solve a real problem quickly.
