The apps can request less precise location data. up to three km https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocationaccuracy https://developer.app

  But if you're spying on the users of your app why would you limit the value of the data you're collecting? It'd be better to put that in the control of the user being exploited and not the app doing the spying

    Applications that don’t need accurate location benefit by getting faster results and less battery drain (if the system last got a location 5 minutes ago it’s safe to say you are in the same city, so you can just get a cached result). It’s not really there for privacy, since even the city you are in is a lot of data to go on privacy-wise.

      Sadly, I don’t think most applications care much about limiting battery drain…

  Is the location randomised? Over lots of data points, your precise location could still be pinpointed, I'd imagine.
