iOS 10.3 broke "Setting time zone" in location services

Since updating to iOS 10.3 I have noticed that the "setting time zone" feature is broken. It is turned off (and always has been) however, it is still being used by iOS.

The broken feature is draining my battery like crazy and has been since the update. If you check the attached photo you will notice it is turned off, however, it is still being used (grey location services icon)

Does anyone know how I can report this bug to Apple and/or to fix it?

Does this mean that Apple effectively have access to people's location even when they have not allowed it? If so that is rather concerning.

Ok, great, so the location is being used without consent. Then, what other things are also being used without consent? Microphone and camera?

Agreed. They need more reports to actually take it seriously & do something.

Thanks for the reply, for me, nightshift was turned off a long time ago, so I don't think that is it :(

I also have the same problem. No updates to it? I was at the Genius Bar and they suggest to RESTORE the phone. Anyone has tried?

I think this has been fixed in iOS11. I have had no instances of Location Services being active for Setting Time Zone since updating my iOS. Yay!

It looks like the problem is solved in iOS 11. But many small bugs are received in addition. 😐 As always.
