System UI uses location

  • /e/ version: 0.12-q-2020111083843-dev-oneplus3
  • Device model(s): OnePlus 3

Summary

"System UI" uses the device location regularly (about at least once an hour). What does it need it for?

Generally I think it's great to get a detailed notification when apps use the device location (the location icon popping up in the status bar). But is it possible to disable this for selected apps? I find it irritating that the symbol pops up regularly for a few seconds, it would be more helpful if it only popped up for apps that are not expected by the user to use the location in the background.
