Why is location permission required to use the Eufy app with smart scales(Android)?

Modified on: Wed, 10 Dec, 2025 at 11:21 AM


Applicable to:

Smart Scale(T9140), Smart Scale C1, Smart Scale P3, Smart Scale C20, Smart Scale P2 Pro, Smart Scale P2


This is actually based on the requirement of the Android system

For Android 6.0+, due to its internal policy, users must turn on location services so Android's system will allow our scale to pair to users' phone via Bluetooth. Otherwise, the pairing process will fail. 

Please be assured your data will not be exposed to third parties without your permission with the location services turned on.
