Lizard insurance app mandates you give location permission, refusing access to the rest of the app otherwise. I have 0 intention of giving them this but so far have failed to find a phone number to call them (their mobile website tells me to use the app).
Until I find a different company run by living, real people, my current intention is to use the app to manage my insurance in the meantime. I don’t want to give them my location, even if it’s only while using the app, so how do I get the app to think it has my location when it actually doesn’t?
inb4 just use a computer: nah. It’s about spite at this point.
May I ask what fake location do you intent to provide? And have you considered that it might invalidate your claims? Like, you say your car had an accident but your location says you’re in Antarctica, and they use that to weasel out of coverage.
I don’t think OP is that stupid. I’d guess they’ll provide a reasonably close fake location, since their home address is almost certainly known to the insurer.
At that point you might as well just give the real location data, just only when the app is in use

Its impossible to avoid giving your location data, the fucking photo you send them will have location data unless you scrub the exif. Your phone tracks exactly where you are in a fucking store every time you enter one. You’re naive if you think they don’t already know a shitton about you and where you are when you open the app
why would my phone track anything other than what cell tower it’s connected to with location data off?
Bluetooth
why would I have that battery draining abomination on?
