when GPS is on, my phone uses more power. maybe because there are apps running tracking the GPS data.

GPS itself doesn't transmit. but apps log the data and they to the transmitting.

my main concern is any apps that need location from time to time. there is a permission to allow access to location data, but switching gps off does not toggle that permission, and apps still track location through wifi and cell locations, and i can't find any way to toggle that.
