The “Allow access to location:” list should be present whenever “Location detection” is on. It should include only currently-installed apps that have ever requested access to location data.
Whenever “Let the phone detect your location:” is set to “Not at all”, the “Let apps access this location:” label and list should be insensitive, ''and'' the switches for each app should be off, regardless of the underlying permission, so that there is no confusion about whether they are accessing your location. If you later choose to let the phone detect your location, the switches for each app should return to their previous states.
