By default, apps using Google Play geolocation are redirected to our own - implementation on top of the standard OS geolocation service. If you want to - use Google's geolocation service instead, you can disable the "Reroute - location requests to OS APIs" toggle and manually grant "Allow all the time" - Location access to Google Play services. For it to be fully functional, you - also need to use "Google Location Accuracy" link to access the Google Play - services menu for opting into their network location service. This will send - the nearby Wi-Fi and cellular networks provided via the Location permission to - their service to retrieve a location estimate. The Nearby Devices permission - can also be granted to give it access to nearby Bluetooth device IDs. If you - stick with the default enabled redirection mode, none of this needs to be - granted for working geolocation in apps. In order to fully take advantage of - Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning, you also need to enable the scanning toggles in - Settings ➔ Location ➔ Location services which are disabled by default rather - than enabled by default like the stock OS.
