Sort of off-topic complaint, but I wish Apple didn't make the Precise Location permission status viewable by apps. There's no reason they need to know if I'm obfuscating my location from them, and many apps look for this setting and refuse to work with Precise Location disabled.
For example the McDonald's app doesn't allow you to use coupons unless you enable the precise location permission.
- WrtCdEvrydy 4y agoSome of it comes down to whether the app should rely on that positional data... like for catching an uber or something. I do think that's exploiting the ecosystem and I have a feeling one well placed complaint with Apple would cause a stern message to McDonald's... does the app tell you it's because of your location accuracy?

But you can't see the code unless you give them precise location.
