nrf connect location services

[AF]

Why does the nrf connect app on Android need my location services enabled for it to work? I believe that is the case for most (or all) of the nrf apps in Android.

What I want to know is why is the app tied up to the location service?? I have used the TI app and it does not ask me to enable my location service to work.

Is nordic tracking my location??

Nope, nothing like "Precise location" permission listed on Play store for nRF Connect app, I'm afraid it's some misunderstanding or malfunctioning. I'm sure Nordic support team will look at it tomorrow morning Europe time. Actually adding some screenshots with app permissions as visible in App manager on your phone might help (they claim Samsung Galaxy S6 being among their test devices so they might be able to reproduce it) as well as precise HW and OS identifications.
