Android 17 will let you share one-time location data with apps.

If you choose the option, you’ll be able to share your precise location until you close an app, which might be a good choice if you just need to give your location to an app to quickly check one thing.

Android 17 will also add a persistent indicator that tells you when a “non-system app” accesses your location.
