2. Tap the contact name on top.

3. Tap “Send My Current Location” to instantly send your location once.

4. Or Tap “Share my Location” if you wish to share your location with this contact for a specific period of time.

5. Select the length of time you want your location to be shared: an hour, for the rest of the day, or forever.
