In Survey123, is it possible to not ask the user for their location?
By default, in a browser, my Survey123 Forms ask the user to use their location.
How can I disable this from happening?
Thank you,
Aaron

Survey123 will only try to get the user's location if you have a geopoint question specifically configured to do so.
If authoring a survey from the web designer, you can control the behavior as shown in the screenshot below.
Only if you select the two last options (use device location [...] ) will Survey123 request a location from your browser.
If authoring your survey in Survey123 Connect, you will wan to add the null value into the default column if you do not want the device location to be used.
If you want Survey123 to use the device location, you will get a browser warning.
If you configure your browser to never share the location, or you deny access to your device location, any Survey123 form that is configured to use your location will not be able to get your location. Depending on how you configure your survey, that may negatively affect the user experience and data consistency.
