Private link · nobody signs up · winds down on its own
Let them watch you get there
Hand the people you choose a private link and they can follow your dot across the map until you walk in the door. Whoever follows needs no app or account — and your link winds down the moment you stop.
Only the people holding your link can watch, the link is yours alone to end, and it expires by itself once you are done.
Pick the way you want to be found
Each one hands you a link you control, with nobody signing up to use it: follow a dot across the map, drop where you stand right now, or pin the spot you all agree to meet.
Follow a link
Open a link someone sent and watch their dot travel across the map as it updates.
How sharing works
- Mint your link. Open Live location, allow the browser location prompt, and you receive a private link that follows you.
- Hand it to your people. They tap it open in whatever browser they already have — no download, no sign-up — and your dot moves across their map.
- End it on your terms. Tap stop and broadcasting halts at once; the dot drops to offline within a minute or two, and the link expires by itself anyway.
What does live location sharing actually do?
It turns your moving position into a link the people you trust can open and watch — handy when you are running late, walking home after dark, or closing the gap to a friend across town. Live Location mints that private link the second you start: whoever holds it follows along with no account and nothing to install, and it expires by itself. Your real position only travels out while broadcasting is on, and the feed cuts the instant you tap stop.
Is it safe to broadcast where I am?
It stays safe because the link is the only key, and you alone decide who holds it and for how long. Pass it just to people you trust, keep the session short, and shut it off once you are inside. The link carries nothing about your name, so when a session ends there is simply nothing left to look up. To keep the dot moving with the phone tucked away, the companion app takes over where the browser leaves off.
When to broadcast, drop a pin, or set a meeting spot
Reach for a live broadcast when someone should watch you close the distance — “almost there” or keeping a group together on a trip. Reach for share my location to drop a single pin of exactly where you stand this second — “come find me here”. And to send everyone to a spot that is not where you are at all, hand out a meeting point.
Keep sharing, even with your screen off
Pop the app on your phone and your live dot keeps going while you put it back in your pocket.
