- U isporuci su uklonjeni backendovi «espoo» i «wolfpack», koji se koriste za približno određivanje lokacije na temelju baze adresa pristupnih točaka Wi-Fi iz usluga HERE i Geoclue2. Backendovi su radili nestabilno, što je dovodilo do davanja pogrešnih informacija o lokaciji. Nakon uklanjanja backendova, određivanje lokacije je ograničeno na GPS i informacije iz mobilne mreže, ali je usluga počela raditi točno i predvidljivo. Kao zamjena za wolfpack razmatra se mogućnost primjene u budućnosti. .
