  • Toggle Advanced Privacy on
  • Go to Advance Privacy Settings > Manage my location
  • Make sure Use a random plausible location is selected and mapbox (the map preview below) should show the fake location
  • Now switch to Use my real location and look at the mapbox again it should be in a endless loop or show blue.

What is the current behavior?
