I’m traveling to Barcelona and when I leave the train and walk on the platform I receive a notification from Cabify (Like Uber/Lyft) referencing the station where I am.

I only gave permissions of location only when using the app, and I did not used it in months.

How is it possible?

Is this an iPhone thing? Because Bluetooth and WiFi are tied to location permissions on Android because they can be used to determine your location.
