Note that the privacy settings in GNOME settings isn't respected by geoclue for applications that are not sandboxed (running in flatpak), so it will provide location information to any application that asks it, and will not show any applications BUT ones run via flatpak This is working as intended by geoclue upstream[1] and applications that are not sandboxed have other methods of acquiring information provided by geoclue GNOME settings also tracks what they want to do with their privacy panel in regards to the problem above here[2] [1] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/issues/111 [2] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/805
