I spent 45 minutes trying to sync my smart lights before realizing the app needed a location permission I'd denied.
Has anyone else run into a weird app permission being the culprit for a simple setup taking forever?

Ugh that's the worst! I used to always deny location access by default, but stuff like this made me change my mind. Now I just let the app have it during setup and turn it off later.

Read an article about how some apps basically hold your phone hostage until you give location. Like trying to order food and the map won't load at all unless you flip the switch right then. Makes you just hit allow to get it over with, even though you know you'll forget to turn it off later. Honestly feels like they design it that way on purpose.

Totally feel that! I started keeping a list on my notes app of every app I give location to. Every Sunday I check the list and go into my phone settings to turn off anything I didn't actually need that week. It's a pain but it's the only way I remember.
