nope, it’s actually used system wide for many things, mostly low power geolocation, apple has it’s own NLP system, and there’s actually a few privacy respecting ones which you can use if you have a rooted phone (Mozilla NLP/DejaVu NLP, with the latter being offline and relying on a database made by itself using the data from a time you had both GPS and wifi active)
As usual, I subscribed for the giggles and I keep getting dragged into unsolicited rabbit holes of useful knowledge. Thanks for being an awesome community
