5.1 location reporting option gone

[anon(285475)]

Is everyone who's updated to 5.1 missing the location reporting option? I don't see it at all, only location history. Does anyone know if Google's changed it so that reporting is permanently on?

I noticed that as well. The help page seems to imply that Location History and Location Reporting are combined now, which would be kind of annoying. I don't mind the Location History, but historically, Location Reporting tended to contribute to some increased battery drain due to relatively frequent wakelocks.

Actually, I think flipping the switch on for a specific device in that Location History menu turns on Location Reporting.
