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.
