IOS 26 Apps not remembering location services permission

My phone, carplay, and my apple watch constantly ask me to give apps permission to location services after upgrading to IOS 26. I've tried everything I know how to do to fix them to no avail. I see so many people complaining about this issue, it must be a bug. Why has this not been acknowledged by Apple? When is this going to be fixed?

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

iOS 26 is a buggy mess, they have to fix this. I get notifications about location, network, notifications, about so much random stuff.

Another note, sometimes Apple Maps will just randomly stop working and I’ll have no idea until I miss my turn. Anyone else?
