    I know I can see which apps are using background tasks, but is there a way to see which apps use/request location services?

    Yeah, turn off location services and then start launching some apps and see which ones ask you to turn it on.

    Yeah, that way sucks though. Everytime I unlock my phone I see the location icon next to the battery. My battery is not lasting very long so I was going to see if I could find which apps are using my location.

    It is a bit silly that individual apps are not listed under Location Services like they are with background tasks. Hopefully this will be added in future.
