I sure hope they were, otherwise this is straight up libel.

The post says it went away after restarting his phone, and he hasn’t seen it since.

In what way is this libel, exactly? Can you detail support for your position?

IANAL, but I seem to recall that, in order for something to be libel, the party providing the misinformation has to reasonably believe that the information is incorrect; having a reasonable belief that what one is saying is true isn't libel. iOS shows a message saying an app without location permission is accessing permission, someone reports that thing happened, it's not libel.

Not only that. This is about a Brazilian app that only works in Brazil. There are similar concepts in Brazilian law but it certainly doesn't use whatever way US define libel.
