iPhone Location Services - What app is using my location? It appears to be none of them.

[needsomehelp_idontknow]

Please excuse poor use of this forum. I'm having great difficulty finding an answer to my challenge.

I have a recently purchased iPhone 11, and my phone is consistently displaying the white arrow notification that my location is being shared - that in itself is not the issue.

I'm very diligent with the settings of my location services. For some reason, my phone will display the white arrow notification, but will not indicate which app/service is using that location - no purple arrows. I have had the white arrow display while in the "location settings" panel(s), and nothing comes up.

I have no way of knowing which app/service is using that location - it works just fine for all other services (Waze, Find My iPhone, etc.). Any source I use to figure this out just tells me the basics of location services, and does not answer my question.

Welcome to Macrumors.

Being your first day on the forum, we have to put you through a bit of hazing before answering your questions.

In regards to your issues, you're probably holding it wrong.

There, you've been hazed. Real answers to come soon.

I believe other's are having the same issue as well as seen in the iOS 13.1.2 thread that I don't know how to link.

I have two posts on here now, and you folks can haze all you want if I get to figure this stuff out. Thanks!

I’ve heard another user with your issue. It seems to be a bug particularly with iPhone 11’s.

Do you have an Apple Watch? For me it was a complication that showed the weather.

It seems to be a problem in iOS 13.1.2: my GPS always activates when I turn of Airplane Mode or join my Wifi. I've turned all iOS Systems related GPS off and just use 1 app with GPS.
