+ GrapheneOS enables the privacy indicator for location data access in
+ addition to the standard Android camera and microphone indicators. This shows
+ an indicator when an app the user has granted permission to access location
+ requests location data. We also resolve various UX issues with this feature as
+ it currently exists in AOSP to get it into a highly usable state.
+
+ The indicator works the same way as the Camera and Microphone ones, showing
+ a bright green icon when location access occurs which then gets minimized to a
+ small bright green dot when the quick settings tray isn't currently opened.
+ Android 12 already includes Location with the other standard runtime
+ permissions in the privacy dashboard for viewing the history.
+
+ This will likely become a standard feature in Android 13 at which point it
+ will be removed from this page.
