What it does
This package provides location fixes to Samsung's own apps and features, for example for tagging photos with a place, weather for your area and place-based routines. Apps that use Google's location services or raw GPS do not go through it. It has no screen and runs whenever a Samsung app asks for your position.
Also shown as Samsung Location.
If you disable it
Samsung apps that depend on it, such as location tags in Camera or local weather, may lose location. Google Maps and most other apps keep working.
