How to share your location on Android

To share your live location, follow the below steps:

1. Open Google Maps on your phone.
2. Tap your profile picture in the upper-right corner.
3. Tap Location sharing.
4. Tap the blue Share location button.
5. Select the duration of your location sharing. You can go as low as 15 minutes and as high as 24 hours. Otherwise, you can share your location permanently until you turn it off. For example, this can be useful when sharing your location with your family.
6. Select who you want to share your location with. By default, Google Maps recommends your most frequent contacts. Tap More on the right of your contacts to select someone from your list. There is another More button in the lower-right corner of the screen, which you can use to generate a sharing link. Avoid using this option, as anyone with the link can see your live location.
7. The recipient can see your location in real time using Google Maps. They can use the Location Sharing section to see your current location and your remaining battery percentage.
8. Once you've shared your location with someone, you'll see the list of people you granted access to in the Location Sharing section. Tap Stop to revoke access and stop sharing your location with them.
