The permission model in Android changed in Android 6. Apps using the sdk that was released with Android 6 will have to ask users for permissions as well. I expect that eventually older SDK's will stop working on modern Android.

Less than ~25% of active Android devices are on Marshmallow or Nougat, which somewhat tempers the impact of this change.

iOS does offer a slightly nicer three tiered request strategy over Google's yes|no. iOS let's you grant location access only when the app is active

Actual EU/US realworld stats are >50%, not 25. Don't mislead.
