Edit: got told by the kind folks in the community that this is expected and the sentence “can access position while in background” actually just means: will ask you for the permission to access the position from the background but only does so, if you allow it" - that’s what I figured, but now im sure. Thanks for the clarification everyone!

Hey guys n gurls,

I recently learned about exodus, and installed it to check my apps. While exodus shows some apps (like bike computer for reference) are allowed to track my position (quite logically).

The strange thing: in system settings it says seeing position is not allowed.

Does this mean that the app wants those permissions but I don’t granted them? Or are my system settings bricked? Is this because of lineage? Is this expected?

Would greatly appreciate someone who understands this a little bit more to explain :)

P.S: Is (the tracker part of) exodus even useful when i already use neo store which shows known tracker? Is this maybe even the same database?

    Okay that makes sense. But which are the ones actually apllying?

    E.g: exodus says the app can see my position System settings say they can’t see my position, as its disabled.

    So: is bike Computer capable of seing my position at the moment?

      I forgot to respond to the last question. If the toggle is off, it does not have access to it. Bike Computer should not be able to see your position at the moment.
