My location is been used

Hi so today something strang happend.

I constantly have the arrow on the top bar of my iPhone that indicates an app using my location.

This never happened befor, i take full advantage of the tools i have to not let applications using my location.

But now even if there is no app opened, and not even running in the background

I still have either hollow or full arrow.

Idont know why. i went and search every app on the location service section,

And restarted my phone but it still there.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15

If you flip the 'location services' switch do you still have that symbol?

iOS also uses locations for different purposes. These options are under 'system'.

Maybe this information will help you too.

If you go to 'privacy' in settings and choose that for location features you can see exactly which app is using your location.


If you go to 'system' in the same menu you will see an option 'status bar symbol' at the very bottom. Possibly this is turned on?

About the location features i deactivate the location completely and the arrow disappeared. so it has to be one of the apps that uses the location privileged that i gave. i went one by one and selected "never" and wated a bit to see what app caused this. but the arrow still is going from full to outlined.

As for the statys bar symbol it always on and this never happened.

My concern is that there is an app or something that triggers my location
