The app requires location permission to be able to use the device’s location. By allowing the app access to your location, you are allowing the app to identify where you are and use this information to provide you with a better experience.
Here’s what matters
Your phone’s background location permission allows the app to use your location even when the app is not open. This is great for apps that need to keep track of your whereabouts, like navigation apps or games that require you to stay in the same place.
However, if you don’t want your app to use your location all the time, you can turn off the background location permission in your phone’s settings.
How Do I Request Background Permission in Android 11
To request permission to use your device’s location data in the background, you must set the Allow all the time option on your app’s location permission settings page. This will allow your app to use the device’s location data at all times, even when the app is not open.
Should I Allow Background Location
Background location access is not necessary for the core functionality of the app. If the app does not require background location access, then it should not request this permission. If the app targets Android 10 (API level 29) r higher, then the app should not request the ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION permission.
What Permissions Are Needed for Location Android
Android offers two permissions for location: ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION. ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION allows an app to access a device’s approximate location. ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION allows an app to access the device’s precise location.
Both permissions are needed for certain apps. For example, the Maps app needs ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION to determine where the user is, and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION to determine the user’s address.
Location is a sensitive topic, and many people are concerned about their privacy. Android offers these permissions in order to allow users to choose which apps have access to their location.
What Does Location Permission Off Mean
The “Location permissions off” status on Life360 indicates that the users have either disabled the phone’s GPS or have turned off Life360 GPS permissions. This means that the users will not be able to use Life360’s location services.
Why Does Google Play Services Need My Location
Google Play Services needs your location so it can provide high accuracy location services (other than GPS). You can deny location permission to Play Services, but Google apps will still be able to use your location.
How Do I Make My Android Most Accurate Location
In order to make your Android phone or tablet’s location as accurate as possible, you can switch it to “high accuracy” mode. This mode uses more data from your phone’s GPS and cellular networks, which can result in a more accurate location.
How Do You Turn Background Location On
If your phone’s Access to my location is turned off, then your phone will not use its location to help you find places you’ve been before, or to provide information about new businesses and services that are nearby. If your phone’s Access to my location is turned on, then your phone will use its location to help you find places you’ve been before, and to provide information about new businesses and services that are nearby.
This is it
If you allow the app access to your location, the app will be able to identify where you are and provide you with a better experience.
