App showing in Location services, but nowhere else on iPhone

Hello. I noticed an app called Astronomy in location services but nowhere else on my phone. Not sure how this happened but is there any way to get all traces of it off of my phone? Thanks.

ello. I was just randomly checking my privacy settings and I saw an app there called Astronomy. I didn't remember downloading the app but when I went to search it on my phone it wasn't even there. How could this happen? I'd like to remove all traces of it. Help.

iPhone 13 Pro

It's not really an App, it's a service tied to the Astronomy Wallpapers and Lock Screen.


It uses cellular data to get astronomy data and location info for the dynamic Astronomy wallpaper. Earth, Earth Detail, Moon, Moon Detail and Solar System.


You might not need it or want it, but you are stuck with it.
