location arrow wont go away even when toggled off

I have an Iphone 11 and i'm having an issue hiding the location status arrow from the status bar on the top right. Everyone is telling me to switch the toggle "show icon in status bar" but when I press it nothing happens. (just to be clear I don't want to turn off location services just don't want so see the arrow)


pls help!

Hello iLOvEaPpLE2702,


It sounds as though you’re seeing the Location Services status icon on your iPhone 11, and not wanting it to show in the status bar when not in use. If Location Services is enabled the icon can appear a couple of different ways, and there isn’t a way to remove that icon without disabling that feature. If you’re seeing a hollow icon that indicates that an app or item may receive your location depending on the situation or condition. If the arrow shows in blue that indicates you’re using an app that is requesting your location. This information can also be found in the following article.
