Tightened privacy for People Nearby

People Nearby allows you to see nearest users with the feature turned on and approximate distances to them.

To protect from the feature to be exploited for detecting somebody's precise location, the distance is being distorted.

Earlier, the distortion was within 100 meters and rounding was done up to hundreds. Since February 2022, it is distorted within 700 meters and then rounded to 500 meters.
