Location sharing automatically ends after the time limit is reached. Let us know how you will be able to share your live location with your loved ones.
Share live location with Google Maps like this
To share location on Google Maps, you will have to list each other as a friend within Maps, or you can share location between your Google contacts without this. To share the location, you have to come inside the maps and click on the top right and click on ‘Share Location’. From here you can set the live location and its timing and share it with your Google contacts.
Along with bringing updates in Google Maps, the company is also working on improving the privacy of the users. Till now the company used to store the maps information in the cloud, but now you will have the option to store it in the phone so that your personal information will remain safe.
The company also offers a similar feature in WhatsApp where you can share your live location. However, here you get the option of only 8 hours. After this sharing stops automatically. But this is not the case with Google Maps. Here you can stay connected with people for as long as you want.
