Description

All apps that use GPS, taxi apps, weather apps give a very generic location name. For example, my weather apps will say I'm in England as opposed to actual precise location
I am a Huawei user and any apps installed from App Gallery that use GPS behave appropriately

Expected behavior
Apps give precise location
