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?

The Hated One has a couple of videos on how a phone finds you location - there are 5 or 6 methods.

I was going to post the link to his older video but it was made 6 years ago.
