> There is no way for an iOS application to just say "turn on GPS" and be granted granular location access without user intervention.

Damn. Just like on Android.

The permission to always have location access(while closed) exists. Important for apps like Find My, etc.

But that has to be manually enabled per App in the settings. Apps can't even prompt for it, the location permission dialog only lets you allow usage while in the foreground. Also everytime your location is used in the background you get notified about it. So yeah, op either uses outdated android or enabled it manually.
