Spotlight in location services

Hello, there is this app called spotlight in my location services which is requesting my location. I have never seen it before. Can anyone help me figure out what it is. I use spotlight all the time but I've never seen it ask for my location.

iPhone 12, iOS 16

Turn off Location Services for suggestions

  1. Go to Settings  > Privacy > Location Services.
  2. Tap System Services, then turn off Location-Based Suggestions.
