Microsoft Teams macOS Location Permission Bug Causes Repeated Prompts

Microsoft Teams is experiencing a recurring issue on macOS systems where users receive repeated location permission prompts. A recent security update from Apple fails to store user selections for the application, which triggers these constant requests every time the software runs.

Users face constant location requests after recent Apple security patch.

The company has acknowledged the problem and stated it is collaborating with Apple to understand the underlying change. Microsoft is also developing a potential fix within Teams itself to stop the interruptions. Users can currently work around the issue by manually toggling Location Services permissions in their System Settings.

Reports indicate this bug may only affect a specific subset of customers rather than all macOS users. The problem impacts systems running macOS 14 Sonoma, macOS 15 Sequoia, and macOS 26 Tahoe.

Microsoft has not provided an official launch window for the software fix or any timeline for Apple to resolve the operating system side of the issue.
