Should I leave location services on all the time?

Conclusion. Enabling GPS uses zero extra power except when location services are actually being used. You’ll use more power turning it on and off than just leaving it on all the time. … But even on the other end, having the GPS turned on won’t drain your battery if no app is actually using it.
