I called regarding this today. After being transferred up to "Kate", Senior Advisor, I was told that this (getting a notification every 3 days from Apple as a pop up to ask you if you would like to continue an app always using your location) is "working as intended". There is no "fix" because it was designed this way and will continue to operate this way. In my opinion, there are three possibilities for this (probably all 3) Apple has designed this to cater to people who do not understand how to use their phone- probably stemming out of privacy liability issues. They would rather acquiesce to them than stop annoying people every 3 days on their phones who know and understand what they are doing and why they are allowing an app to continue using that feature. They want to force people to use "find my" instead of other apps to find people, so they allow this feature to bug them every three days in the hopes they will become frustrated and stop using their other location finding app. Apple would like you to only use Apple phones. By continuing this annoyance, it forces you to have all members on Apple phones as other apps that allow location finding of other phones will continue to prompt this endless popup. Therefore, the only choices you have are: Continue using a basic feature of Apple services but be annoyed every three days by Apple's pop up (wonder if the guy who suggested it was watching Netflix at the time), and select what you've already selected in settings to let them know that yes, you indeed to understand English and are very sure you want to do what you have done but in effect you are saying "please ask me again in three days because I can't figure out how to go back in settings." Disable a basic function of the phone you paid for - always allowing an app to track your location.
