On a different note, Apple requires GPS to be turned on if a person
wants 80% charge limit.  Notice below Apple says, "None of the
location information used for this feature is sent to Apple."

But could others access this GPS info is the question. 911 can, so I
must assume other backdoors exist. With GPS active, your daily
"routes" could be known.
===============================

If Optimized Battery Charging doesn't activate

Optimized charging is designed to engage only in locations where you
spend the most time, such as your home and place of work. The feature
doesn't engage when your usage habits are more variable, such as when
you travel. Because of this, some location settings must be enabled
for Optimized Battery Charging to activate." None of the location
information used for this feature is sent to Apple.

Follow these steps:

    Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services and turn
on Location Services.
