      The @fingapp is an #android network scanner with network tools including: Wi-Fi scanner, port scanner, DNS lookup, ping and service monitoring. This app has been downloaded more than 10M times. Let me show you how they steal the location of their user without their consentpic.twitter.com/Vzqj2wvbN0

      So much misinformation you just posted. Every app that makes a web request can have a silent GeoIP lookup on the server side. This is the server telling your app where it is so you app can operate better. I see no evidence that they store or collect any data.

      Every app with Internet permission can do it, yes. However, it doesn't mean they have to. According to UE, the IP address is a personal information so due to GDPR the user must give their consent. This is the law. Before say it's misinformation work your subject boy

      Are you saying that if an app knows the IP address of the device, it is legally prohibited from using that IP in any way even if it never gets sent to a server?

      IP address is a personal information. According to GDPR, if your app is distributed in Europe, before sending it to your server you need to have the user consent.

          It does have consent to send your IP address to the server. And with that logic, every app needs explicit consent before sending any type of web request. Choose a better battle; nearly every web server is logging your IP. Being a GeoIP service doesn't mean it's more dangerous.pic.twitter.com/P7UigqLX3w

          I think lots of organisations would be using IP scanning to avoid a Ddos botnet kind of situation to their servers as to recognise the pattern of the IPs and location if anything suspicious is found.

          Y does IP become sensitive personal information when it comes to mobile apps? After all websites regularly capture IP addresses of desktop .. and even when accessed from mobile devices.
