Like why have the toggle in the first place if apps can detect it? Doesn’t letting apps know about it defeat the whole purpose?

It’s hard to make it undetectable. The lcoation API has to return something. If the location is “null” or “disabled”, then apps would know.

Most apps play nice. Apps which force close/refuse to work without excessive permissions, i try not to use.
