Google Photos for iOS is horrible about this - there are only two location settings, (1) no location services or (2) always on. The sensible default would of course be (3) on while I'm using this app. There's absolutely no reason for photos to be (literally) tracking us while we're doing non-photo things other than better-monetizing us for advertisers. Even if we nevermind the privacy implications, stop burning my battery.

- hullo 10y agoNo, you're limited to the choices the app developer presents to you, and Google Photos presents Always, which you can reject to get Never. I hadn't even known it was an option previously, as they're the only app I have (had in the past) that requests permanent ongoing location. And I didn't even notice what I'd agreed to until my location services indicator wouldn't turn off, and I had to track down what was triggering it.
