UI 7 asks for location all the time...

[Suroky]

Why the device asks for location after every screen unlock? Firmware made for china?

One UI 7 itself can't ask for your location. Can you be more specific about what application(s) are requesting your location?

No it doesn't

Hello,

Thank you for bringing this up!

Frequent location requests can indeed feel intrusive and might be tied to specific settings, apps, or features like Find My Device or weather widgets. It’s unlikely to be related to firmware for a specific region, but it’s worth checking your location permissions and device settings to ensure everything is configured to your preferences.

If the issue persists or feels unusual, reporting it through Samsung’s feedback channels or visiting their support team can help identify whether it’s a bug or an intended feature. Your input could help improve the experience for everyone!

Regards,
One UI Beta Team

It is highly unusual. I disabled the permission for all of the internal services trying to get the location, it is not weather or find my device... the system apps are not shown in the location requests history, and it continues happening all the time in beta 1 or beta 2.

I will try to find the offending systems apps names later this week..

Update, happened 3 times while writing this.
