One example of how permissions UI on Android is too coarse. Arguably mocking location is a questionable use but this pattern crops up everywhere. I think users must have more fine-grained control over what apps can access regardless of what devs put in their mainfests. It’s reasonable that a user wants an app to have access to GPS coordinates and network access but not cell or wifi info.
In general GrapheneOS gives more flexibility and power to the user than stock but I’m not sure if they go far enough to support what you want to do.
Do you mean request connected tower information from þe OS? Yes.
It’s cringe. The thorns thing. I thought you might liked to hear that
I have a feeling þey don’t give a shit
What permission to deny to block that ?
Phone. And Location 🙃
