Google Location History

[aldo82]

Do you have this switched on or off? If off do you notice any improvement in battery life or anything missing in terms of features? I have it on but I just looked at my location history and it is so accurate in what I have done each day that it must be using battery life up to keep track of all that!

I turned this thing off.

I turn location and location history off until I need them. Location running all the time for me has been a real battery drainer. If you dont need it running at that time, why bother running it? Some would say... for convenience? OK... if you conveniently need it running all the time, that's fine. Otherwise, it's just a real present drain on the battery.

I have it on. My battery lasts incredibly long.
So for me it doesn't seem to impact the battery life.

I have to charge my phone half way through the day anyway so i just leave everything on (everything i use anyway).

I was the same way on the S8+, the note 7 and the iPhone 6+, had to charge all of them half way through the day. I just use my phone a lot i guess.
