I have not opened Google+ in days, and my location is not on. My phone started getting pretty hot and lone behold, Google is the battery sucker that's responsible. How can I fix this?
Location might not be in but your wifi scanning might, which feeds location data whether or not your wifi is "on." I'd check that first.
Depending on which version of Android you're running you can do a few things besides that. You could Greenify your phone. You can use permission settings to stop G+ from accessing things like location which are available in Marshmallow or App Ops for rooted Lollipop devices.
