Revise the permission modal alert to specify why the app is requesting access to the users location.

Guideline 5.1.1 — Legal — Privacy — Data Collection and Storage

We noticed that your app requests the user’s consent to access the user’s location but does not clarify the use of this feature in the permission modal alert. Please see attached screenshots for details.

To resolve this issue, please revise the permission modal alert to specify why the app is requesting access to the user’s location.

When building native apps, we just not work only of UI/Data based apps sometime we probably ask them to give you access to their location or personal data. Users must grant permission for an app to access personal information, including the current location, calendar, contact information, reminders, and photos.

Have you ever faced the issue that are mentioned in the above images? This is due to the improper explanation while asking the runtime permission. So, how to fix this issue? Here, I have mention some the the basic ways to fix in short period of time.

Explain why your app needs the information if it’s not obvious.

Request personal data only when your app clearly needs it.

Request permission when necessary for your app to function.

Finally, after you write the explanation properly the issue will be fixed. Here are some of the proper explanation for the photos, contact and location permission.

Photo Permission: App would like to access your photo gallery for your profile photo upload. Your photos wont be shared without your permission.

Contact Permission: App would like to access your contacts to let you choose a friend who you can send a safety sms.

Location Permission: Tootle would like to use your current location to display it on the app, also for directions and estimation of your travel times. It is secure and private.
