Privacy
Who can see my location?
Only people in groups you have joined, after a group admin approves you. Nobody else — not other users, not advertisers.
Can I pause sharing?
Yes. Turn off "Share my live location" in Settings → Location sharing. You can still see others while paused.
Can I hide my speed or battery?
Yes, each detail has its own switch in Settings → Location sharing.
Using the app
How do I invite my family?
Open Groups, choose Invite, and share the code, link or QR code — WhatsApp works well. You approve each request.
What happens when I press SOS?
A 5-second countdown starts so you can cancel. Then everyone in your groups is alerted with your current location.
How do safe zones work?
Draw a circle around a place like home or school. Members of the group get an alert when someone arrives or leaves.
Battery & data
Will it drain my battery?
Sending your location every few seconds with high-accuracy GPS uses the most battery. Longer intervals use much less — change it in Settings → Tracking.
How long is history kept?
From 7 to 365 days depending on your plan. Older points are deleted automatically.
Can I download my data?
Yes. Settings → Data → Download my location history gives you a CSV file.
