# Feature Request

## Motivation Behind Feature
Why to use so many different parties plugins if those missions are neccassary anyway?

## Feature Description
I would like to pop the GPS location services in app - without linking the user to the device's settings. This is not easy to tell him how to do that. And there he could potentially allow "Device only" location mode. This is not what I need. I want him to enable "High accuracy".
Now to tell the user to do this - this is not a good behaviour - this should be done by the app itself.

## Alternatives or Workarounds
Installed a plugin that sends the user to do the job that the app supposed to do.

Research direction

No files, tests, or concrete platform entry points are named. Start by locating the plugin's Android and iOS location and authorization entry points, then clarify the supported platforms and expected high-accuracy behavior; done should include a defined in-app flow and platform-specific verification.
