NLP is Natural Language (the stuff we speak) Processing. It might affect things like speech to text. Why it needs GPS access I don't know, but it needs "fine location" access and internet access.

@Rukbat, one of most knowledgeable members, has already said that he doesn't know. Why do you insult him for that?

Answer simple nothing different will happen... If you disable it you will have issues. Some things will close unexpectedly and you can lose the task at hands data unless it has previously saved during the task in some way.

Sorry, I'm confused -- is this related to the original question in this thread about the MTK NLP (MediaTek Natural Language Processing) service?

IN most cases this is true, but there is the rare instance where disabling a service could force you to restart the device. Far from nothing different will happen.

The GPS receiver draws almost no current. It's when an app requests the GPS location that power gets used. So if you never use anything that requests location, it doesn't matter whether GPS is on or off.

If your GPS receiver is drawing a lot of current, you have a bad GPS receiver. If turning location on causes other things to fail, you have a bad GPS receiver or corrupted firmware.

(As far as losing work, unless you close the app with the Back button, or the app is written incorrectly, it won't lose its current place, and running it from Recents will just bring it back to the foreground - and you'll lose nothing. If you lose work when apps force close [an Android app has to be written so as to accept force closing without losing work] it's badly-written app - choose one that's written correctly. [Writing an Android app isn't as simple as drag&drop on some app-making app.])
