Based on the information supplied, I gave the best answer I could; any application installed could be using the GPS, if it requests the permission. Also note, my answer is about 4.5 years old. | |

It's my phone, my location information, and I don't want my phone sending that information to anyone I've not agreed to send it to. I'm not worried about location leaks - it is the principle that matters, and it does matter quite a bit. (Also, periodically peeking at GPS probably drains some battery, but I don't believe it's all that significant.) | |
