@leeloo @Life_is @CoMaps Fused location has been an OS API on Android for years. All we were saying is that for Android 15 and later it should always be available and reliable. There were issues with fused location availability in the past along with both OEM forks of Android on non-Pixel devices and aftermarket operating systems causing issues for it due to introducing bugs. It's entirely possible for apps to use the OS APIs for network location and fused location including before Android 15.

@leeloo @Life_is @CoMaps All we were saying is they should phase out using Google's Play services fused location API for Android 15 and later. There's only a reason to use it on older devices for compatibility. There's no reason to keep using it.
In their non-Google variant of the app, the relevant option may simply be a no-op if it hasn't been removed as a toggle. You'll need to check the code or ask them about it. We were explaining how the OS APIs and Play service API work, not their app.
