Although you might not like it, the use of your location to improve the database of access points on iOS is carefully anonymized and thus practically harmless and not evil. It’s comparable to Google using your location to build its traffic information if you navigate using Google Maps. If they did it anonymously which I haven’t investigated but doubt.
- lern_too_spel 5y agoGoogle also claims to do it anonymously. The only difference is that Android lets you opt out, so a wiretap order to Google can't get your location.
- tinus_hn 5y agoI have not seen any cases where this has happened which suggests that either the data is available more easily somewhere else or isn’t available at Apple or Google.
