Microsoft confirms repeated Teams location prompts on macOS
Technical Analysis UpdateMicrosoft acknowledged a known issue affecting certain Microsoft Teams users on Mac who have enabled location access in Teams settings. The company said a recent macOS security update does not store users' location-permission selections for Teams, causing repeated non-dismissible prompts for permission to use location for things like GPS and Wi-Fi. Microsoft said it is working with Apple to understand the change, investigating a Teams-side fix, and advising impacted users to manually re-enable location access for Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Teams ModuleHost in macOS Location Services until a fix is available. Microsoft also said the first reports surfaced on May 11 and flagged the incident as an advisory.
