That's what I thought, but Seeing Eye, Facebook and Weathere also seem
to fall into the Always category by default, but Around Me is the only
one that's showing as using my location when all apps are closed.

bet would be to make sure you close all apps in your app switcher when you
aren't using them.
Here is the description offered from the Apple website for iOS 8 and iOS 9:
Some apps will ask to use your location only while the app is in use. An app
is considered "in use" when you're actively using it in the foreground, or
when it's in use in the background, which the status bar will indicate.
Other apps will ask for access to your location even when the app isn't in
use. When you allow an app to always use your location, iOS will remind you
which apps are able to use your location after an app uses your location in
the background.
When you turn on Location Services, you also turn on location-based system
services such as these:
. Traffic: If you're physically moving (for example, traveling in a
car), your iOS device will periodically send GPS locations and travel speed
information in an anonymous and encrypted form to Apple, to be used for
augmenting a crowd-sourced road traffic database.
. Popular Near Me: Your iOS device will periodically send locations of
where you have purchased or used apps in an anonymous and encrypted form to
Apple to improve a crowd-sourced database. This database may be used to
offer geographically relevant apps and other products and services.
. Frequent Locations: To learn places that are significant to you,
your iOS device will keep track of places you have recently been, as well as
how often and when you visited them. This data is kept solely on your device
and won't be sent to Apple without your consent. It will be used to provide
you with personalized services, such as predictive traffic routing.
. Location-Based iAds: Your iPhone will send your location, including
travel speed and direction, to Apple to provide you with geographically
relevant iAds.
. Spotlight Suggestions: When you use Spotlight or Spotlight
Suggestions in Safari, the location of your iOS device at the time you
submit a search query to Spotlight or Safari will be sent to Apple to make
Spotlight Suggestions more relevant and to improve other Apple products and
services. If you turn off Location Services for Spotlight Suggestions, your
precise location won't be sent to Apple. To deliver relevant search
suggestions, Apple may use the IP address of your Internet connection to
approximate your location by matching it to a geographic region.
. Location Based Alerts: Your iOS device will use your location to
provide you with geographically relevant alerts, such as a reminder to call
someone when you get to a specific place or when to leave for your next
appointment based on where you currently are.
. Share My Location: You can choose to share your current location
with others, on a temporary or ongoing basis, from within certain apps, such
as Messages and Find my Friends.
The crowd-sourced location data gathered by Apple doesn't personally
identify you.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] difference between while using and always?
Hello,
Can someone explain this to me? The following apps on my phone are set to
always use my location, but only one actually does.
Around Me, Black Hills, Facebook, Seeing Eye GPS, and Weather. So why is it
only Around Me that is currently tracking my location with no other apps
open?
