Tag: Live Location
Live location sharing means letting someone see where you are as your position changes. This archive centers on our report about the feature arriving in Google Maps. Before using a guide, decide who needs the information, for what purpose and for how long. Those choices matter more than finding the button quickly.
Separate a meeting place from a moving position
Google Maps location sharing is different from sending the address of a café. An address tells someone where to meet; real-time location can keep changing as you move. Read which of those tasks an article describes before following its steps or sending a link.
Google’s current location-sharing help explains that sharing is specific to the account and device. It also lists information that chosen people may see, including your name, profile photo, position and battery status. Check the full scope before deciding to share your location.
Choose the person and the end point
As a simple planning example, two friends might share a position while meeting at a crowded station. The useful question is when that purpose ends. This is an example of a choice to make, rather than a claim that we tested a feature or measured how accurately it tracks people.
Know how to stop sharing location as well as how to start. Review the people and duration shown in the current app. Our Google Maps archive provides wider map context, while Android and iPhone help you match the phone platform to the guide.
Check access and privacy together
Location access on a device and sharing with another person are related settings with different purposes. Giving an app permission to use a location is not the same decision as choosing a person who can see it. Review both parts when the result is different from what you expect.
Location privacy also includes the account and phone you are using. Confirm the correct account before changing a sharing choice. The report below preserves the original launch story; current official help provides the next check for controls, limits and stopping access in your setup today.
