The GPS icon occasionally appears on the status bar

Cause:

Certain apps using your location information may enable or periodically invoke the GPS function (for example, a weather app).

Solution:

1. You can configure app permissions as needed:

   EMUI 5.X: Go to Settings > Permissions > Permissions > Access location info.

   EMUI 8.X: Go to Settings > Apps & notifications > Permissions > Permissions > Access location info.

   EMUI 9.X: Go to Settings > Apps > Permissions > Location.

   Magic UI 2.0.1: Go to Settings > Apps > Permissions > Location.

   Then disable the location information access for apps as needed.

2. Map navigation apps are running in the background. Close apps that are using your location information.
