Location Services Control

Still looking for a shortcut to turn location services on and off. I saw a post asking why you would want to do this. It’s simple, battery drain. Why can’t it be as simple as turning Bluetooth on and off?

iPhone 7, iOS 12

Just to be more precise:

Can Shortcuts change my system settings?

Shortcuts can modify your iOS device’s screen brightness and volume, as well as Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb, and Low Power Mode settings.

Shortcuts cannot change Personal Hotspot, VPN, or Location Services settings.
