Hi Peeps,
I have a Galaxy S7 running Android 8.0.0.
For the last week or so, I have been getting a pop-up asking me if I want to 'improve my location accuracy' when I open several different Apps (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, etc).
Each time, I click 'disagree' and the pop-up disappears, only to appear a few minutes later when I open another app.
Each time it happens, and I click disagree, i notice that my GPS has been turned on, so switch it off.
I dont want my location to be switched on by any app without me choosing to do so. The fact a pop up, appearing in multiple apps, is doing this is killing me.
Locating method is set to 'Phone only'. When I look at Recent Location Requests, Google Play Services and TMS service are frequently listed.
It's doing my head in!! I cannot find a way to stop this pop-up. Can anyone suggest anything?
I'm no technophobe, and this one's got me beat.
Thanks
Chris
