Why Feem Now Requests Location Permission on App Launch

We understand that privacy is paramount, and you may have wondered why Feem started requesting location permission since v4. Rest assured, we do not use your actual location in any form—your data never leaves your device. We only ask for location permission due to recent policy updates by Apple and Google.

These policies require any app that displays your Wi-Fi SSID (the name of your network) to request location permissions, as Wi-Fi names could potentially hint at your whereabouts. For Feem to identify and connect devices on the same Wi-Fi network, showing the SSID is essential. If you are uncomfortable, you can decline this permission, though some features may not work optimally. We appreciate your understanding as we adapt to these external requirements.
