How to Share Your Location on Your iPhone

By iPad Pete 19 Comments

One of the great things about sharing your location using your iPhone is that moving forward, you don’t actually have to do anything to let someone know where you are.

Once the feature is enabled, anyone you choose will be able to instantly see your exact location. They’ll even be able to use the “Maps” app to get directions to that specific place.

This is great if you’re meeting coworkers somewhere for a drink after work, or if you want your spouse or other loved one to be able to see where you are for the purposes of safety.

Here’s how you can set up your iPhone to allow for location sharing…

1. Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone.

2. Scroll through the list and select the option labeled “Privacy.”

3. Tap once on the option labeled “Location Services.”

4. Tap the button on the right side of the screen to toggle “Location Services” on.

That’s it! Now, anyone that you select can see where you are and you won’t have to go out of your way to get them this information. They can see it not only in the “Messages” app but in the “Find My” app as well.

    To activate looks like you go into the contact person, click on “info” and find the “Send My Current Location” choices or “Share My Location”. Haven’t tried it but seems like where to go.

    To share your location go to the individual contact and scroll down. You will see a line that says “Share My Location” you can click on that to share. Once shared, you will see “Stop Sharing My Location” instead.
