Like why have the toggle in the first place if apps can detect it? Doesn’t letting apps know about it defeat the whole purpose?

    In theory, devs need to know what setting you chose so that, if you legitimately need presicse location, you can tell the user to enable it. In practice I’m sure plenty of apps that claim they need precise location don’t really need it, but it’s not a restricted permission either so Google doesn’t do any validation during their review process

      Yeah, makes sense. Sad that it kinda defeats the purpose though.
