Springboard Asking For Location?

[matt3166]

So I noticed that Apple Springboard is asking for location access. Is this a bug? I've never seen this before.

Can you show a screenshot of that?

Springboard should be invisible to the user, it's a program internal to the OS. Are you jailbroken or something?

Sorry to take so long to get back to you.

No not jail broken, never have, never will. I poked around the Internet and there were a few others that brought this up.

I do not have the application Springboard listed in location services. I do not see that application within the App Store.

Springboard is not an app. Springboard is the home screen of the iPhone.

Probably a bug a few users got. Hopefully it'll go away with an update.

Correct it's the homescreen, it's sort of an app, but it's internal and not generally accessible to users except those that are jailbroken.

As Led said this may be a glitch.

Id really have to venture a guess and say it is some very obscure bug that pops up under a very specific set of circumstances. There will always be those few users that see a bug that will never be seen in general. Could be due to a certain set of applications on the phone, a set of taps, gestures, swipes, etc that made it come up. It will likely never be known how or why it came up.

I have a graphic of water bubbles I use on my home screen. Spring boards or diving boards would look ok
I guess.
