Share live location
Show someone where you are, or ask them to show you where they are, with a link. Nobody is located until they open the link and agree, and it stops by itself.
How does it work?
- You create a link and choose how long it lasts: 15 minutes, 1 hour or 4 hours.
- The person whose location is shared opens their page, reads who can watch and for how long, taps “Share my location” and allows it in the browser’s own prompt.
- While that page stays open, their position is sent about every 10 seconds, and anyone with the viewing link sees it on a map.
- It ends when they tap Stop, close the page, or the time runs out. The watcher can end it too.
Can I track someone without them knowing?
No. Nothing is shared until the person agrees on their own phone, a “Sharing your location” bar with a Stop button stays on their screen the whole time, and sharing cannot continue in the background or after the page is closed. Locating a person without their consent is illegal in most countries, and this tool is built so that it cannot be used that way.
Who can see the location?
Only people with the viewing link. Each position is encrypted on the sharing device with a key that exists only inside the links, so our server stores a scrambled value it cannot read. It keeps a single latest position, never a history, and deletes it when sharing ends.
Why did it stop updating?
Browsers pause a page when the phone locks or another app is opened. The sharing page asks the phone to keep its screen on, but if the page is put in the background the updates stop until it is opened again. For all-day sharing, the location sharing built into your phone’s maps app is the better tool.
