And don't stress about sync it's harmless in some cases it makes you more secure actually it's just the personal preference it's not really exposing your data or anything

I've always left location turned on for weather and emergency services

You can still run emergency services in the background you can also give location permission to certain apps and not everything.... ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€

Doesn't location still need to be on though for the certain apps?

I promise you the way Google is integrated into the Android system you can have your emergency services running completely separated from your main location being switched on the other apps you can grant them permissions to use your location and you can do all of this without just broadly selecting it on for everything and everyone you know what I mean? It's a little bit of a headache on Android because these days the permissions seem to just change on their own LOL but it's really not good practice to have your location on all the time you got to think there's analytics in every application you have on your phone there's also fingerprinters trackers you can look it up you have beacons pixels they can even do a bet side canvas of your screen to make a collage to get a general idea of your web view... Why make it easy for them you know what I mean
