You’re probably right but it wouldn’t be a clean implementation for the os to do it. If it was more universal and better documented app devs could just put notices in themselves
Yeah that’s true. Not always ideal, though. I’d prefer the option to spoof a location to the app, just to avoid dealing with apps that unnecessarily block features when you deny them location permissions.

I assume it’s part of the security for the app to not even know whether the GPS data was ever there.
The app knows if location permission has been denied though
