5. Captured location and the actual location of user are not same.

SuccessFactors both Android and iOS app requests permission to access device's approximate location and not precise one.

Message in Android:

Message in iOS:

SF app doesn't capture precise location of the user but captures approximate location only. 

That's the reason of captured location and the actual location of user are not same.

SF only captures approximate location and will not get precise one due to legal implications.

Improving location requires more permissions like scanning Wifi networks, Bluetooth, etc. 

It will have many legal implications for our app, so we only have an approximate location now.
