As we wait for Collections to widely launch, Google is rolling out “local recommendations” for the Play Store.
You’ll see a “Want to see local recommendations in Google Play?” prompt. Google explains how “Play can use your device location to recommend apps, offers, and other local content that are relevant in your area.”
You must log in or register to comment.
Aaaah, I love grapheneos!!
Google has our location data anyways, not sure what the difference here is.
Under GDPR they can’t use it, unless you give them consent. They obviously do, but they can’t be too obvious, otherwise they’d have to pay huge fines again.
Yeah its a pain now often “can’t do x” actually means “can’t be caught doing x”. Even getting caught sometimes doesn’t mean much
Yes, it doesn’t mean much if the fine is 0.0001% of Android’s $.
Apple’s App Store has included this “feature” for several years. Gross.
I deny it every single time it asks. I wish it would take the hint and stop asking. I have an iPad and a Pixel and both app stores are complete cancer. I only open Google Play a couple times a year, but I am usually opening the Apple one to force everything to update.
Yeah, got asked this yesterday, promptly said “Fuck no!”
🤡
I’ve noticed that more and more apps are requesting my location. 😑
