I share with one friend who lives 1,500 miles away. It is for safety. I never even bother looking in there unless I know they are not home (i.e. traveling, on a date, etc.). Totally for safety and anyone using it for more than that needs help.♥

[@NicolDelk]

Didn't even think about this for being on trips.

[@m.w.njoroge7438]

I'm like Al Roker...no friends, no need to be tracked.🤷🏾‍♀️

[@MegaTech81]

My family and I and have on for safety reasons. Never bothered to check it unless I absolutely have to. My first instinct is to always ask them where they are and if they don't respond in 24 hours, that's when I check.

This App is the easiest way to get caught of wherever you are. I hate sharing my location with anyone, I keep it as an own my personal.

[@quantuminfinity4260]

So just don’t share it, your phone location can already be triangulated using cellular connections anyway. (for which the major providers have already gotten in trouble for selling that data) So the real tangible privacy benefit is not that great for the average consumer

That’s an oopsie. :p

[@x-men69-96]

It's creepy. it's called stalking

[@Stargazer9900]

I think it's also used for safety reasons as well. Especially if you're a girl running at night and don't come back friends/family can track where you are/last seen.

[@evansimmons354]

Mia!

[@KA-eu9sy]

Pale blue top and green sequins skirt. Sure, that goes well together. C'mon! Puke!

[@glitch-pr3nr]

Necromancers use it too

[@achromatic03]

Nope!

[@maildeliverysubsystemmaile9178]

Sounds like a stalker’s dream. No thanks.

[@KA-eu9sy]

Stalking much?

[@julieanne22]

lets talk about the reason for this.... MEN. and the horrors of MEN.

[@klaythompson663]

Yeah we got big downsides. But we have the highest upsides too
