By default, none. You can install Google services, then your phone will use their proprietary NLP system.
You can also install microG (an application that pretends to be a Google service and connects to it, but sending minimal data, respecting your privacy) and then you will use MozillaNLP and DejaVuNLP at the same time.
MozillaNLP: you send a list of WiFi networks around you to Mozilla over the Internet, you get location data
DejaVuNLP: a local database built on your phone. When a GPS location signal is available, DejaVu fetches the list of WiFi networks and adds this list of networks corresponding to the given GPS coordinates to its database for later use
Shiiiiiit. I’ve never heard of NLP. How can I check which one my phone uses?
Do you think this one is privacy respecting?

looks like a good privacy respecting one, but remember that you need root/microg to use it, so you are kinda stuck if you’re on stock android
UnifiedNlp has been abandoned. MicroG now has built-in MozillaNLP and DejaVuNLP.
Thanks. What is the built-in NLP for Lineage OS? Maybe I’m not using the right keywords but I couldn’t find out via search.
