Worth noting: If you deny it GPS access, the app will send your Wi-Fi BSSID and (apparently) uses Bluetooth beacons to track your location.

- walterbell 9y agoCan any app access Wi-Fi BSSID? Why isn't this restricted under location or another permission? Presumably apps can also use IP address for geolocation.
- willstrafach 9y agoIP address is not too reliable, but you are correct, they could. I do agree that BSSID should be shielded behind a permission, I believe Apple is deprecating that API anyway though, so it may be a non-issue in iOS 12.
