Enterprise Apps Request Unnecessary Location and Device-Discovery Permissions
Microsoft Teams repeatedly prompts for location access and permission to find nearby devices — capabilities with no clear functional purpose for a messaging and meetings app. Enterprise users have no way to grant only the permissions the app actually needs, and cannot disable the prompts without potentially breaking app features. This reflects a broader pattern of mobile apps bundling unnecessary permission requests, eroding user trust in enterprise software.
