Pack it up lads, this guy doesn't update his phone so let's stop updating our phone software.

System-Provided Location Button: You can embed a secure, system-rendered location button via Jetpack. Tapping it grants your app precise location access for the current session only, without triggering a system dialog. Requires the USE_LOCATION_BUTTON permission.

This is pretty neat actually. For apps that I use semi frequently that require location, having to tap "just this time" is a minor annoyance that leads to people just giving full access. Having a button in WhatsApp, for example, so I can quickly share my location and trust that that permission is removed afterwards is pretty handy. Hope developers use it.
