Location sharing
Location sharing
Location sharing lets you see where your partner is on a real-time map. This feature is designed with privacy as a priority: you always keep full control.
Enable sharing
- Open the Us π tab.
- Tap the Location section or the map icon πΊοΈ.
- Tap Enable sharing.
- Allow location access when iOS prompts you.
Choose the duration
Sharing is never permanent. Choose a duration that fits:
- 1 hour: For a short trip or a quick errand.
- 4 hours: For an evening out.
- 8 hours: For a work day (default duration).
- 24 hours: For a trip or a full day.
When the chosen duration ends, sharing stops automatically. No action needed on your part.
See your partner on the map
When your partner is sharing their location:
- Their position appears on the map with their avatar.
- The location updates in real time.
- You can zoom and navigate the map normally.
High precision mode
Enable GPS mode for a more accurate location:
- Useful when you need to meet at a specific place.
- Uses slightly more battery.
- Disable it when standard accuracy is enough.
Privacy and control
- Pause: Pause sharing at any time without disabling it.
- Disable: Stop sharing completely and instantly.
- Automatic expiry: Sharing always stops after the chosen duration.
- Battery optimization: Updates happen every 60 seconds with a 50-meter distance filter to preserve your battery.
Tip: Location sharing is ideal for finding each other easily in a crowded place or for reassuring your partner during a late-night trip.
