I don't think GPlay can see your IP because that would defeat the purpose of them sandboxing it.

Mine can tell my location with or without Google Play when I allow it.

I'm looking at my settings RN.

Is there a better keyboard app for graphene that doesn't spy on you but works like gboard?

The default one sucks ass.

is it Sandboxed GPS or from the GP store?

I told you no permissions were given

try to tap to the "sandboxed google play is running" and then go to "google location accuracy"

We don't have decentralized manufacturing.

Its software running on your phone my dude, theoretically it has access to anything your phone has access to. Without looking at the code, it could take pictures of you through your phone camera. A VPN is for external websites, not programs you run for yourself.

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.

Secure hardware is a lie and this can't be fixed with software. 🤷

You said the other profile was running a VPN, yes?

Not just your main profile

play services have various methods to understand real location. One is the gps, another is called like "enanched location tracking" and is able to map the network you connect and directly determine the ip.

This kind of traking happens "ahed" of the vpn tunneling (playservices have access to the wifi you are connecting and directly trasmit the ip to google... throug the vpn, but the damage is already done😅)
