It’s important that others are aware of our movements at any point in time. Especially with rising security challenges, it’s always a good idea to tell friends or family where you’re going and when you’re likely to be back. Do you know what’s even better? Giving them a live view of where you are at every point. This is what happens when you share your location with other people on your iPhone.
It might not even be because of security challenges. Maybe you have an accountability partner for places you visit. Sharing your location with each other is a good idea to keep track of where exactly each person is at every moment. It’s also a great way to direct someone to where you are exactly so they’re not lost. The use cases are a lot!
