I have two ride hailing apps installed on my phone (iOS) - Ola Cabs and Uber.
In "Privacy > Location Services" I see "Always" location request from Uber but "While Using" for Ola Cabs. So my only option for Uber is to set location services to "Never" and then either manually enter the address or give the permission and then revert it to "Never" after booking.
I googled aound and I see it's clear that they had a choice:
[self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization]
[self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization]
I really feel unconfortable when apps ask such blanket permissons for Contact, Location, SMS (on Android; I'm very new on iOS), files, microphone etc.
Facebook on the other, at least on Android again, had every permission request listed in their app (uninstalled and never installed again in last 4-5 years).
