I’ve followed all the suggestions to get location arrow to turn off. I e put Never on all my apps except Maps, google, and safari and it still won’t go away. Rebooted the phone also. Please help.
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 12
You can go to Settings>Privacy>Location services, and you can see what service is using your location services at the time. If it is a solid arrow when you see it, find the one that is colored purple to see what was just used it.

If you have all apps turned off, then it is probably something in System Services. As I said, you will see the particular app or service that is using location services. QuickTimeKirk is correct that it is not draining your battery enough to notice. If you are seeing that the battery is draining, then you need to look somewhere else. That will be in the Settings>Battery section and see what is using the highest percentage of battery.
I have gone in and turned everything that has location services to Never or Only while using app. I have also rebooted my phone. It bothers me because it is draining my battery faster.
I cannot imagine why this would bother you.
But since it does, you can do Settings > Privacy > Location Services = "Off" if you wish.
It's not draining your battery.
location arrow at top of screen won’t go away
