It looks like MS Teams will never be getting installed on my phone. I don’t even allow location sharing with my own family on and ongoing basis.
I also totally don't get why you would want to share your location, even with family. I don't want to know where they are either.
Can I kill this via pihole somehow? My wife uses teams. This is a sick “tool” that will be wielded asymmetrically by middle management to fire people
It's so pathetic that people actually put up with this. There are so many ways to stop that tracking from working and no, your boss doesn't have the right to track you.
