> Google Photos for iOS is horrible about this - there are only two location settings, (1) no location services or (2) always on

Can't you just select "While using this app" for location services for any app on iOS?

No, you're limited to the choices the app developer presents to you, and Google Photos presents Always, which you can reject to get Never. I hadn't even known it was an option previously, as they're the only app I have (had in the past) that requests permanent ongoing location. And I didn't even notice what I'd agreed to until my location services indicator wouldn't turn off, and I had to track down what was triggering it.
