I’m working on an old tablet and couldn’t figure out how to switch to dns over https, so I got an app that assisted. I found one that only had 1000 downloads, no reviews, and just someone’s name as the creator so I thought it was safe, but it’s asking for my location to scan wifi signals. Is that phishy or standard issue?

    The only thing I can think of is geolocation for CDNs. Basically to find the geographically closest server based on your location.
