Location Service Permission Requirements

Android OS 6+ may require Location Service to be switched on

Some users running Android OS 6+ (Marshmallow) have reported that the location service must be enabled for the application to see WiFi networks.

Users using the the above versions of Android OS may need to turn on the location service, even though WiFi Analyzer does not explicitly require it.

This appears to be attributed to permission model changes since Android Marshmallow, the knowledge of nearby WiFi access points is regarded as containing location information and is protected by location permission.
