What kind of phone are you running and how old is it? Apps don’t get any of that other information either unless you specifically approve it. If you want to give Uber just notifications and just location, you can do that.

- SllX 2y agoRunning location triggers an icon in the UI which puts it in a list of apps that have run location recently. An app abusing this in the background will eventually cause the operating system to ask you “hey, are you okay with this?” alongside a map of your current location as your phone sees it.
