>Android allows app to read gps status, do background stuff that is impossible on iPhone:

You are very much behind the times here. The newer Android (since 10 I think?) behavior for the last 2 years are permission prompts just like Apple. In fact many apps are not allowed to request background location updates anymore either.

But there are still apps that have permission to run location service in the background e.g. Tasker, GPSLogger.

I'm on Android 11.
