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? ...
Hi,
I think it is not a good idea.
I suppose Intune app could need to notify something in the future.
Other apps are allowed for localization access and they aren't notifying it all the time.

Microsoft is aware of the issue with the recurring notifications, but they are still investigating this issue.
- Today it seems ok.
Thanks - Why don't you temporarily turn on location access on the phone itself, not the app, restart the phone, and wait a while!
- I've also received a confirmation that this was rolled back on all tenants and the permissions of the Intune app are changed: location is no longer allowed.
- Hi,
unfurtunately I still have the same issue. I've just rebooted my smartphone and the issue persist.
Please let me know
Thanks
Best regards The support team contacted me and said that they have rolled back all tenants. I have also confirmed that my Intune app no longer has location permissions. The rollback was originally planned to apply only to requested tenants, but changed to all tenants.
- I have some new information from the Product Group. They are developing a hotfix to disable the location access permission and notification. This will be deployed only on demand basis, meaning not for all Tenants but just for the ones that are requesting this.
- Thanks, i also created a ticket. Please let us know once you have a solution.
Greetings Did you create a ticket or can we track that info somewhere? My colleagues have the same issue.
- Thanks, please let us know if you recieve more information. Users keep calling with the question if we are tracking them.
- Thats good to know - hopefully a quick fix before the app gets updated to the rest of the phones.
