You sure you need an app that converts Celsius to Fahrenheit to access your location? Do you even need an app for that at all? The default calculator, Siri, and iOS search can all do it for you.

Some third party headphones and stuff show up like this.
Go ahead and shut down the apps you have open, restart the phone and once it finishes restarting, turn on lockdown mode, install any updates asap and then do the privacy check up.
You want to restart to get before first unlock security back on, then turn on lockdown mode because a lot of device and inter process communication gets disabled and if the problem keeps coming back you’ll know to start looking somewhere else. You want to check for and install updates because updates contain security fixes. The privacy check up will tell you what stuff you’ve given access to various ins and outs of the phone and that may tell you something useful.
