Apple has started removing apps from the App Store that violate the company’s policies by sharing location data with third parties without explicit consent
Apple’s clampdown seems to be related to the General Data Protection Regulation, which comes into effect on May 25th in Europe.

That means apps might need to ask for consent to your data more often, or highlight how they’re using your data in clearer ways.
