I use Microsoft Authenticator on iOS, and it doesn't use location. (I didn't even need to deny it--it didn't ask for it.)

- crossroadsguy 4y agoThey do ask on Android it seems. Not sure if this text is common across all apps seeking location permission. > Optional App functionality, Fraud prevention, security and compliance However I’m not surprised such apps keeping double standards between iOS and Androids. Apple spanks (or spanks harder) the apps that ask permissions frivolously or block functionality behind permissions unnecessarily just to collect data. For e.g I use TrueCaller on iOS without giving Contacts permission, but on Android the app features are blocked without it. Not sure of now but earlier Ola/Uber didn’t work on Android without location permission but on iOS they did and still do. Many such examples.
