Tracking apps annoying

[Joso]

Refreshing mode after a few minutes. The phone keeps asking me to allow location data for some applications. It's very frustrating when in the middle of a video call it kicks me out of full-screen and asks for permission because some application wants access to my location!!!

Turn off your location and only allow apps as you use them

So I have to allow apps that I'm not currently using to spy on me. What a shame for Samsung and its premium class!

Hi Joso,

As adviced by h0h0h0, to minimize interruptions, you can turn off location services by going to Settings > Location and toggling it off. Then, selectively allow location access for apps only when you're actively using them by setting permissions to "Allow only while using the app."

This approach helps reduce unnecessary prompts and ensures that apps access your location only when needed.

Thank you.

I did that, but it doesn't help at all. Even when I'm on the home screen, I always get a message to enable location sharing.

I'm on the home screen and all apps are closed. Every minute I get this message on the screen.

That's not good.

Probably a background or system application that wants to use location services but currently isn't allowed to. Would be nice if the the application also displayed who it is.

Try opening up settings and check your running services when this pop-up appears. It might be in the list of running services.
