So long, Life360: This privacy-minded service is location sharing done right
"Complete end-to-end data encryption, so only you and the specific people you choose to share with ever see where you go No tracking, no profiling, and no ads of any sort Intricate control over exactly what info you share with anyone And the option to share and receive not only on-demand location info but also proactive alerts (with everyone's permission) whenever someone in your group arrives at or exits specific places"
"and get ready to discover all sorts of awesome tech treasures! Location sharing, with a side of privacy Open 'er up and follow the prompts to create an account and sign in. You can opt to skip the sign-in and use the service only as a guest, if you want, but doing so makes it impossible to move your setup to another device in the future-so creating an account is really the most advisable way to go."
Phones can actively share real-time location with selected people to provide safety and convenience, such as monitoring children, confirming the safety of elderly relatives, or coordinating with partners with permission. Common built-in options include Google Maps, Apple Maps/Find My, and third-party Life360. Privacy-conscious services offer end-to-end encryption, no tracking or ads, granular sharing controls, and proactive arrival/exit alerts with consent. Account creation enables transferring setups between devices, while using guest mode prevents migration. Choosing the right software balances helpful location sharing with protections against unwanted tracking and profiling.
