I have a secondary user profile in #Graphene running Google Play Services.

It has an always-on VPN.

When I went to check my logged in devices in that Google account, it shows the location as my real location - which never was the VPN server I connected to. The clock is not even set to this city.

Why is this information leaking?

Seems like a pretty nasty bug.

Are they getting the geolocation from your Sim maybe? Your Sim can be used to trace you via cell towers and isn't affected by a VPN.

How can it be called unprivileged if it has access to SIM geolocation, however that works

No clue, simply a theory. I could be wrong.
