Astronomy in Cellular tab under settings

Hello, I just noticed this when I had to use my data. I don’t remember downloading any astronomy app and I looked for the app to delete but I can’t find it. I just downloaded the latest update and idk if it is part of it? I looked online but found none. :( Please help. Thank you.

Unknown Astronomy app listed in my iPhone 16's cellular data usage iPhone 16 .. i go into settings and check out my cellular data usage and select the list to sort by usage. Astronomy is like 5th down and I knew I hadn't downloaded any Astronomy apps yet. I searched my apps, I searched the App Store and nothing not even the icon that it shows is anywhere. This is my only apple product and these are totally new apple and iCloud accounts I am using. I’m just curious any ideas what’s that’s about? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Astronomy app, what is it? I see nothing anywhere about what the astronomy app is, why it’s there, what it does, and most disturbing, why there is no option to do nothing much about it. What if I don’t want my wallpapers giving out location information without my knowledge? The only answer I have found is not a good one. I have quite a number of apps I don’t use in my systems services using large amounts of data and the only connection I can find is this app that I didn’t install, and seems to lead to nowhere in my phone. I am not a gamer, don’t use social media, keep Bluetooth off, yet the KB use is huge compared to the rest.

Astronomy App found using Mobile Data Hello I’ve never downloaded this Astronomy App, it’s not on my Home Screen or under Apps in the main Settings page I only saw it from checking which Apps were using my Mobile Data. I can’t even find it in the App Store! Please help me identify what it is?

Astronomy is part of the new ‘Astronomy’ wallpapers, which require your location.

Thank you Pizzalava. I thought of it too but I went to panic mode instead. Thank you! 🙏
