Chrome on Android · Research guidance. Instructions are based on publisher guidance; a UK IPTV account was not tested on this platform.
Ask what location feature was started
A website can request device location for a relevant feature, but the request should make sense in context. Read the actual requesting domain. A programme page displaying a familiar logo does not establish why it needs location access. Review the publisher’s explanation and privacy policy before allowing it.
Inspect the current-site permission
Google documents View site information beside the address, then Permissions, for the active Chrome Android site. For saved choices, use Chrome Settings, Site settings, Location. Read the allowed or blocked entry carefully so the intended origin is changed rather than another site with a similar name.
Choose a scoped state
Keep a note of the original choice and use the available permission scope appropriate to the task. Do not allow location for all websites merely to test one trusted feature. A browser grant and the phone’s operating-system location controls are separate considerations; changing one is not proof that every other relevant layer permits access.
Compare the intended action
Repeat the specific location-dependent feature, if one is documented, while leaving other settings unchanged. A changed result can identify a compatibility relationship for that action. It does not guarantee a programme licence, override territorial terms or prove that every streaming page requires precise device location.
Keep the privacy boundary clear
Google explains that allowing location can involve Google Location Services estimating location for the requesting site. Denying that permission is not an IP-address-hiding feature. A support report should name the site, permission state and feature being tested without sharing precise personal location or private account URLs unnecessarily.
Questions, answered
Should location be allowed globally for one page?
Prefer the relevant site’s setting and preserve the previous choice.
Does blocking geolocation hide the IP address?
No. These are different information and permission boundaries.
