Hello, KMBC72. Thank you for posting to the Apple Support Communities. We are happy to help with your iPad.

From what we understand, you may be seeing a new icon on your Home Screen. A triangle icon may indicate the status of Location Services. This may indicate that an installed app or the iPad System Services are sharing your location details.

You can review or change which services are allowed to share your location details by opening Settings > Privacy > Location Services on your iPad. The following Apple Support articles can help you more with this:

Control the location information you share on iPad - Apple Support

About privacy and Location Services in iOS and iPadOS - Apple Support

We hope that this information helps answer your questions.

Cheers!
