to delete the saved network afterwards.</p>
<p>Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning for improving location detection are disabled by
default, unlike the stock OS. These can be toggled in Settings ➔ Location ➔ Location
Services ➔ Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning. These features enable scanning even when Wi-Fi or
Bluetooth is disabled, so these need to be kept disabled to fully disable the radios when
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are disabled. GrapheneOS doesn't yet have an implementation of a coarse
location service to supplement GPS location, so enabling these options doesn't
actually do anything at the moment. Implementing a supplementary location service is
planned but we need a robust, secure and private implementation via a local database.
The initial focus will likely be a cell phone tower database, so these features still
wouldn't be relevant.</p>

GrapheneOS itself doesn't currently include a supplementary location service
based on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning. These options impact whether apps such
as sandboxed Google Play are able to use the functionality if you grant them
the Location permission. GrapheneOS plans to eventually include an OS service
based on local databases rather than a network-based service giving the user's
location to a server whenever location is being used.</p>
