iPhone keeps asking me if I want to allow location services for apps

Ever since upgrading to the new iOS, I get popups a few times a week saying "X app has used your location 10 times in the last day. Do you want to keep allowing this app to use your location?" I check yes, always allow, and then a couple days later I get the same question. Is there any way to turn this annoying reminder off? I suppose Apple is trying to optimize my battery use by turning off unnecessary location tracking, but if I've already said yes 5 times, why must they keep asking?

I FEEL YOUR PAIN! Ughhhh It's so freaking annoying. She's gotten lost and we can't find her location because Apple sucks. We re-set it once a week... Click 'Always'... 3 days later, it's changed.

Nope they did not fix it. Happened to me again just now. Definitely irritating and often dangerous as others have pointed out. Fix this immediately Apple! No excuse for this.

Except Apple doesn’t care about your or your safety they just want to project the illusion of safety so they can virtue signal about how good of a company they are.

It works for me. The annoying messages have stopped popping up on my phone.
