    Nobody to answer to (and share my location).
    Despite being somewhat aware of the privacy concerns of having location services always enabled, the potential of having access to finding my phone based on the service to find it (Apples and Googles feature) is more important (to me).
    Same reason I have cellular always enabled.

    Main reason I keep location services enabled is for geo-tagged photos.
    At first I always kept it disabled because of privacy trust issues (e.g. sharing a picture might not always strip the geotags) but since going on a vacation in sri lanka and being able to trace back a picture to a location it became a very useful feature.

    Example from my vacation in Sri Lanka:

      Yeah I’d turn off location tracking where it not for photo geostamps. It’s so useful and fun to track down photos.
