Briefly explain your current issue(s)
Location method keeps setting itself to High accuracy
Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful
Stopped instagram from using location services but this didn't work
In settings on my s7 edge I keep setting the location method to "Battery saving" but after a while it turns itself into "High accuracy". I don't know which app is causing this. I have Zomato, instagram(keeps asking for location) and fb installed. This issue has come up recently.

Had to search as I was not sure what setting you talked about. Seems it's a GPS setting on Samsung Galaxy S7 and you might wanna test if completely revert it/disable helps. Check this guide for more help:
