No application should `require` location services to start/let you in.
If you have `Facebook` app installed first time, upon opening the app, there should not be any requirement to access location data.
Only at the point of posting with a 'Share Location' the app should request the Location tracking. And I don't see why it then needs to be permenantly permitted from then on. (Unless manually remove again)
They are scummy tactics and I agree, people just click okay to remove the inconvenience, but the creators are creating problems in order to get those 'Allow access'.
Its gross. Almost like selling a solution to a problem you created.
- zo1 7y ago>"No application should `require` location services to start/let you in." Exactly this. Rejecting apps from getting into your store ecosystem that request permissions that they can't justify based on the purpose of the application should be one of the first and major things app-store curators do. Now to enforce this with browsers as well and include things such as "push notifications".
- theferalrobot 7y agoFor Facebook that may make sense but requiring the user to grant permission every time the permission is used would be vista era bad for some apps (maps, camera apps that geotags).
