From Apple: "When Location Services is active, a black or white arrow icon appears in the status bar."

If Waze is using it for up to 40 minutes after traveling, you need to decide if you want to know where the cops are or if you want Google to know where you are.

The colored location bar on top stays active too.

I always force quit Waze at the end of the trip so that it (1) stops tracking me and (2) I don't waste my phone's battery life on tracking me
