Description

As far as I know, under Android 11 it should not be necessary to have location services active for exposure notifications to work. But when I disable them I get a microG warning, telling me they need to be active. Could this be fixed with a new release :)?

Thanks,
Dia

Research direction

Start by reproducing the warning on Android 11 with location services disabled while exposure notifications are enabled. Trace where the microG warning is generated; done means the warning no longer appears in this configuration while exposure notifications continue to work.
