Everything about privacy (the confidentiality pillar of security) -- but not restricted to infosec. Offline privacy is also relevant here.

@jana@social.jsteuernagel.de Yes, either Wi-Fi needs to be enabled or Wi-Fi scanning needs to be enabled to allow doing Wi-Fi scans regardless of the Wi-Fi state. There's a new network location option added in the menu for it. We're going to be adding cell tower support too as a fallback approach it can use if there aren't enough nearby Wi-Fi networks. We've also already essentially fully scraped Apple's cell tower data and it will be much easier to provide that for a fully offline mode than the Wi-Fi AP data.
