  Pegasus spies on all the data on a phone. If a phone is really infected with that, then location access is the least of your worries. But this is not relevant anyway, because 99,9% of people will never be a valid target for such high-level spyware.

      Just make a proper threat level analysis. Are you a journalist or politically exposed person in a non-democratic or semi democratic system?
      No?
      Are you in a key position of a company or agency providing (for) critical infrastructure?
      No?
      Are you just a little shit, trolling on the internet?*
      Yes? Maybe just dial that back.

      Verdict: You are of no interest for a state sponsored Spy Software or some script kiddy trying to wreck your day.

      *Hypothetical situation. Does not necessarily apply to the OP.
