Apparently updating 13.1 on phone did not fix the privacy location issue. Anyone else???
Last night the privacy bug cleared up for me, but this morning it has returned. It is definitely happening less often, but still there.
I am finding that my battery seems to draining faster in standby, but I will give it a day to see if it clears up.
what a crappy experience this has been so far.
The worst part about it is that when I have called into Apple to speak to support about it they act like it is normal. When I am speaking to them it feels like they barely know how to use their phone as they keep having to put me on hold to read stuff and then come back with the most basic suggestions.
As frustrating a time this has been for many of us, I imagine it is especially irritating for folks like yourself, who’ve purchased new devices.
Unfortunately, calling or visiting Apple support is truly useless. Sadly.
I did install this latest 13.2 update and it has corrected the privacy issues and a few other annoying bugs. Wonder how long it will last. BUT NOW - the battery drain is far worse than before. As much as I’m glad for a fix with these lingering problems, it’s just awful that Apple sacrifices battery life in order to achieve these fixes.
It seems that some bugs are still not entirely fixed: Fix one issue within a certain feature and then it creates other options unusable.
Still much needs to be done by Apple to get things running better.
Hopefully, your battery doesn’t become an issue. I had a new battery installed several months ago and still has much life left, no reason for this drainage issue other than another bug to deal with.
Battery drain could be the phone re indexing everything. I would give it a full day and then restart the phone and judge from there. The 13.1.3 update effected my battery for the first day, noticeably, but after the first full day battery became much better (using iPhone 11)
the location issue cleared up for a few days and last night and today it came back with a vengeance. my ipad does not have the issue at all, which is the weird part.
I bought a pair of air pod pros and every time I open the case my location is being tracked. I cannot find a way to remove the air pods from showing their location to my phone. very annoying. I deleted the pairing from my phone and the location issue became much less of an issue (it barely did it anymore), but as soon as i add them back the location tracking icon keeps popping up in my phone
Another round... iOS 13.2.3... bug still present.
I'm growing tired of it, seriously... Why can't they fix a (stupid?) bug like this that drains battery?
Only solution is to disable the localization... not very confortable.
Ok, finally we found the core of the problem.... a function Apple have build in without telling anyone that it's there for chip U1.
I find absurd how we need that a "random" (non to desrespetc Brian Krebs, is just for saying) security researcher bring up the case at international level to have an answer that the users have been asking to Apple for quite some time.
Now they say in future they will add a flag to deactivate this UWB but in the meantime we are stuck with the problem, and they say it's perfectly normal.... if I were in the USA I'll have already started a class action.
I have a bug with GPS too, it activates continously and iOS is not showing wich application or system service is using it.
PS: iPhone 11 pro
Thanks for the suggestion but it did not work for me. Still have the issue and it happens almost every minute
I do hope that Apple will fix this soon, as I have deleted the apps that do not respond to my selected options.
....Primary concern is due to the security and privacy exposure, that this serious bug presents, if not fixed.
Same situation here, tried everything. Obviously, nothing anyone can do until Apple releases a fix. It’s anyone’s guess, at this point. as to when that will happen - sadly.
Installed iOs 13.1.1 this morning. Nothing changed, problem persist. :(
IOS 13.1 iPhone - privacy location bug NOT fixed.
