Sharing your location on an iPhone can be a handy feature, especially in case of emergencies or when you're separated from family or friends. The Find My app on your iPhone makes this process straightforward. Here's how to activate location sharing:
Open the Find My app on your iPhone. From there, tap on your profile at the bottom right corner. You'll see a switch for 'Share My Location.' If it's not already activated, simply slide it to the right. If it's already activated, you'll see a green switch. Tapping on 'Location' allows you to assign a custom label for your current location, such as 'Home' or 'Work.'
Now, if you want to share your location with specific people, switch to the 'People' tab in the Find My app. Tap on the '+' symbol and select 'Share My Location.' Enter the name of the person with whom you wish to share your location, and once they accept the invitation, you'll be able to see their location as well. You can decide to share your location temporarily or indefinitely.
Since we're all about giving you extra tips, here's a bonus pro-tip: you can share your location with someone directly from their contact information. Simply tap on their name, then 'Share My Location.' From there, you can select the duration of sharing.
Unfortunately, the process to turn off location sharing isn't as straightforward. Swipe back to the 'People' tab in the Find My app, select the person(s) you want to stop sharing your location with, and choose 'Stop Sharing My Location.' Easy peasy.
And if you lose your iPhone, fear not! The Find My app's 'Find My iPhone' feature can assist you in locating it. You can learn more about how to utilize this feature with your iPhone and other Apple devices at Aussiedlerbote's tech tips. Now go forth and share your location with confidence!📍📲⚙️
