Hello Cairn Terrier1888,
Thanks for getting back to us. Is this happening when you have a certain app open? We recommend opening the App Switcher to see which apps you have open. Generally, you'd want to only close out of apps if they're not responding, but it may be useful in this case to isolate the issue: Switch apps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
"Switch apps on iPhone X or later, and iPad
If you have an iPhone X or later, or an iPad:
If you have a Smart Keyboard or Bluetooth keyboard paired to your iPad, press Command-Tab to switch between apps."
You could try closing the apps one at a time by swiping up on them in the App Switcher and then checking to see if the Location Services arrow disappears after closing a specific app.
Let us know what you find, and have a good one.
Hey Cairn Terrier1888,
Sounds like you believe that Location Services is enabled even while toggled off. We'd be happy to help out.
To start, we see that you're in Low Power Mode. This disables a variety of things on your iPhone when enabled, so please toggle this off while troubleshooting. Test things out afterward and let us know the results.
You'll also find more info on troubleshooting Location Services here: Turn Location Services and GPS on or off on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Keep us posted on the results and we'll go from there.
Take care!

Chrome isn't developed by Apple, so for questions about this behavior being caused by this app, you'd need to work with the app developer, which in this case is Google. They'll be best equipped to assist.

Hi UtBadger,
Thank for replying back. So I did what you asked me to do was turn off my lower power mode and the location icon still showing up on my screen. I tried restarting my phone still show.
Thank you
I talked with T- mobile about the location icon they said the Chrome app is forcing my location to stay on. How can I make the icon so doesn’t show up like this.
Thank you
