Why would you think that? I don't need to give a weather app my location. It only needs to have one or more locations of interest to me. My weather widget pulls multiple locations for me, and has no access to my location data.
- fooker 8y agoBy that logic, nothing needs your location.
- vultour 8y agoNot sure what kind of strawman you're building here but there's quite a big difference between giving location to a map app that will help you if you're lost, and a weather app. Having to use location data to get weather seems like the pinnacle of laziness to me, if you don't know where you are than you have bigger problems than the weather.
- jasonlotito 8y agoSo, if I don't give it my location, how does it give me the weather at my location?
