A number of these proximity apps you can locate a target by basic triangulation:
(1) Draw a circle of distance-radius around your location. (2) Go north that distance and repeat the process. (3) Return to origin, go east and repeat. If you are lucky, the three circles intersect at your target location. (4) If there is abuity (two answers) or imprecision, perform a south and west measurement too.

Iirc they mitigated by using grids after that, and precision is only accurate to a specific tile. However, a fixed tile size will anonymize you only as much as population density allows. If you're in a rural area, you'll likely be pinpointed.
