AFAIK, Uber doesn't even allow to set location access to "while in use". It's either "always" or "never".

That may have changed with a recent update. I'm pretty sure I set it to "only when in use", but the app updated soon after. Now I went back to check, and it got set to "never".

Why does Apple even allow apps to remove the "only when in use" option?

How does that work? Is it an iOS specific thing? I haven't launched the Uber app in a while and use Lyft instead - but I just turn location services on when I want to use it and off again afterward. How does the app get any say in the matter?

For the latest version, those are the only two location-services options.
