Intune Android app - Location permission
Today all of our users received a popup from the Intune app on their Android devices about Location permissions being enabled by admin, is this expected behaviour and if so is this documented? ...
I assume you're pushing out a WiFi profile? Android Enterprise then requests the "Location" permission as the information exposed by this API could be used to determine an approximate location for the device.
Please note that the "Use precise location" item is left unchecked, meaning a GPS-location is not part of the request.
We are pushing WiFi profiles and I am aware of the location permission settings in de Device Policy app, but today there was a popup notification from the Intune app. I assume this is related with the update of the Intune app, but due to privacy concerns I would need an "official" statement.
Bjorn Claes we have got the same issue.
A lot of android users are receiving this notification.
All started some days ago (no changes made on our Intune configuration).
Please let me know

- I've opened a ticket with Microsoft, but they are still investigating the issue. I think it's related to an update of the Device Policy app on September 7th or the Microsoft Intune app on September 6th.
- Did you recieve an update from Microsoft? We are facing the same issue.
