Why are all my apps using precise location?

[richard97]

I've checked every app, and all of them have precise location on. Is there a way of turning it off for all apps at once?

Just my thoughts sone apps need location i.e phone or chrome for example in apps many others could go in that category the members app i believe has it also i just use the one you selected only in use option in the store both galaxy and playstore you can find the required permissions and which are optional

Go to settings > location > app permissions. You'll have to revoke or modify permissions on an individual app basis.

Ok

[richard97]

What apps really need precise location though?

[Mujibar]

You decide. Does every app that asks for location need to know *precisely* where you are, or is an approximate location good enough?

[richard97]

Ok good to know

[richard97]

Why would apps need precise location?

[Mujibar]

Ask Google
