      you can deny location position to your weather app. show the weather for cities you are interested in. Get weather by notifications for “seemlessness”

        Yeah, I was just curious if the app could harvest it anyway via the SDK or something.

          the weather app can’t. Your cell provider can without any phone permissions. Google/Apple secretly could as well. These companies love your government more than they love you.

      Many phones come with a weather app you can neither uninstall nor disable.
