Why does my location on my note 5 come on automatically?

[AC Question]

I may be doing something on my phone and suddenly notice that my location comes on. I checked my location info on Google which is off and all other location based apps (I believe). Can't figure out what has changed...any help is appreciated.

Welcome to Android Central! Go to Settings>Privacy>Location​, tap Improve Accuracy, and make sure Wi-fi Scanning is turned off.

Thanks so much I believe I figured it out - it's the settings in Lookout that was causing it. All the same I did do what you suggested as well and things seem to be working better! Really appreciate your reply, have a great day.
