Advanced Privacy: be able to whitelist an app from the fake location

  • /e/ version: 1.0
  • Device model(s): all

Summary

Description

What is the current behavior?

Currently all apps are affected by the fake location, even the preinstalled Maps app.

What is the improved behavior?

Instead, we should be able to choose which apps will be affected by the fake location and which won't, if it's technically possible.

What does it bring?

This way people wouldn't have to disable the fake location system wide in order to use an app that needs their real location to work properly, such as Maps.
