I don't know which app(s) precise location got turned on for, I don't 
think it can be changed globally?

I haven't noticed it turning itself back on

I don't think it's related to upgrading to Android 15 (my ancient tablet 
did the same as my newish phone) but I think Google pushed out the 
setting on the same day it came out of preview

I only have two apps allowed to use precise location while using those 
apps (Google Maps and Google Auto).  Most others have approximate access 
only, or have too ask everytime (or they're just blocked).  Some system 
components can't be configured.
