Yo I'm certified in Linux I'm on a couple developer platforms and certified in some cybersecurity and no you do not want to leave it on all the time I don't care what anybody says if you look up basic cyber security on any website about location they will agree with me. That's something that Google and everyone started to make it more convenient for their apps and not worrying about people's safety..... Those same apps and services will still sync and still work without your primary location being out in the wide open....

Thank you it feel weird to have location on all the time , when should it be used?

[TaperingThought]

I mean Grant permission for location for apps that have to have it you also have the option of doing precise or approximate location too precise is like almost pinpoint approximate is a pretty good radius so that's something to keep in mind also but remember you can still give the permissions to those apps that try to make you do it without having it just switched on and as far as switching it on different reasons anything from trying to get Google's to learn your Wi-Fi so you don't get locked out of your account all the time LOL or navigation mainly mainly navigation but your emergency alerts are through your phone provider you can totally still get those experiment with it play around you'll find that there's a lot of things you can turn off basically you want to minimize as much as possible and still get all the riches and spoils from it you know what I mean!!

Right got it

[Deno5352]

What else should I turn off or on to stay safe?

NFC an Bluetooth always if not in use.. any Cybersecurity or VPN always.. that never became a thing until they started making their apps so permission intrusive
