The app is unde system settings and can be opened it has no permissions and I found no information online is it safe to disable?
Returning to the context of the OP's initial question, consider how I control unwanted location permissions without completely disabling system apps.
1. Settings >
Location >
App Permissions >
Three vertical dots icon (upper right-hand corner) >
Show system >
Service provider location (scroll down) >
Don't allow
(see attached image for clarification)
Personally, I have it set to "Don't allow" on my phone, and I use location, and everything else works just fine. So, presumably, there will be no issues if you do that, and you can have peace of mind.
2. I found this unofficial explanation on GitHub, which I think someone already referenced:
"This app is not needed for location to work; it enables your carrier to access your location for network improvement or other reasons."

3. I also found related advice on the Android forum:
"Wearables needs all it's permissions. They all must be enabled. Samsung location SDK can safely be blocked the rest I don't know. You can turn off location in settings without fouling Wearables. I would verify what each one does before blocking. It's better to disable apps individually than take a shotgun approach."

Last piece of advice: if you do change things with system apps or anything, they could have a critical effect on your phone. Do one thing at a time so that you can go back and fix it easily if it causes any issues.
You can also try "Always ask," and you may be able to see which actions or applications trigger the service to run, as it should display a notification or permission request. However, not all system apps support user notifications, so Don't Allow is the best option in terms of user privacy.
Again, this is all based on opinion and not official guidance, so your mileage may vary. Hope this helps.
