Hello Ish,

I figured out why Inbox by Gmail requires your exact location. It is to improve reminder suggestions to let you snooze email messages or reminders to a place for instance home, work and more and show them when you arrive.

Try it! Go to Inbox and swipe to the left on a conversation you will get the "snooze untill" menu from there you can snooze the message to a specific place. :)

Hi Nadim,

You can view the permission details :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.inbox

I have disabled the location detect feature for all my apps on my phone.

Why would Google Inbox which is an email app need to know your location?
Especially, with GPS precision.
