I have a flow of type Boolean named selected and I want to get that value inside autoLocation Observer. how can I do that? , here's my code:
PreferencesManager.kt

class PreferencesManager(private val context: Context) {
                     ...
val selected : Flow<Boolean>
        get() = context.counterDataStore.data.map { preferences ->
            preferences[AUTO_LOCATION] ?: false
           }
}

LocationFragment.kt

class LocationFragment : Fragment() {
                   ...
      lifecycleScope.launch {
            mainViewModel.autoLocation.collectLatest {
              //  check if selected      
                    it?.let {
                        mainViewModel.addPlaceItem(it)
                      }
                   }
            
          }
}

MainViewModel.kt

class MainViewModel(
     private val application: Application
    private val placeRepository: PlaceRepository,
    private val preferencesManager: PreferencesManager,
) : ViewModel() {
                        ...
val selected = preferencesManager.selected
}

assuming I understood what you want to do, you could change it a bit, and instead of returning a Flow<Boolean> for selected,
could be

suspend fun readSelected (): Boolean =
         context.counterDataStore.data.map { preferences ->
            preferences[AUTO_LOCATION] ?: false
           }.first()
