the location features

We have an Around Me feed, which is also location based.

I'd like a switch to disable any and all location features for opsec

No need for the switch (why would you ever trust a software switch?). Just don't enable the notification permissions in the settings.

since is its open source, we can verify a switch

I can use Android OS security settings to disable app access to Location and Bluetooth MACs but many users may not know how to do that

The app asks people to use notification or not. They just need to say no. That's all it takes.

I appreciate the accuracy of your point.

I believe many don't understand the difference between an apps Notifications setting and a a confident sense of Location privacy settings. I may be wrong here.

Thank you so much for Amethyst. ๐Ÿ’œ

Sorry, I mispoke. The app asks to use Location services. They just need to say no.

I assume a device Bluetooth MAC address is not required for Amethyst implementation of Bitchat?

that's a potential opsec leak in general
