For the past few months I have been having an issue with my S8 Plus randomly turning off the location setting. I run it on battery saving most of the time unless I am using Navigation or the like. But when I want to check the weather somewhere I get a message that I need to turn on the location setting and when I go to it, it is off and I did not turn it off. Anyone else having this issue and if so, have you found a fix? Thanks in advance.

Soz for the delay. I think the problem is the fact you run your phone in power saving mode most the time. As soon as you turn power saving mode on it'll turn off location to save battery as it isn't essential for the phone to run. Maybe there's a way to ignore location settings from power saving but honestly I don't know.
