Google Play Services probably does it so that all Android in-app ads can use the location as well through it.
I doubt this is very legal in the EU, as the user hasn't given "explicit consent" for this. It might be worth mentioning it to @vestager on Twitter, who's already been lining up official antitrust charges against Google.
- shostack 10y agoSo that is basically an end run around blocking location services on an individual app basis?
- tacomonstrous 10y agoNo, apps need the location permission to use Play location services.
