Responding to an invitation

When you get a sharing request from a friend, you can:

Accept and share back. You and your friend can see each other’s locations.

Accept, but hide my location. You can see your friend’s location, but they can’t see yours.

Don’t accept. No location information is shared between you and your friend.

Viewing your friends’ locations

You can view your friends’ locations on a map or in a list.

When you open Maps, your friends’ locations are shown. Each friend is represented by their picture (from Contacts) with an arrow pointing to their approximate location. If a friend has chosen to share city-level locations, their picture does not have an arrow and appears in the middle of the city.

To see a friend’s profile and connect, touch the photo. Your friend’s name appears in a balloon. Touch the balloon to open a screen with details about your friend and many connection options.

When you open Latitude you see a list of your Latitude friends, with a summary of their last known locations, status, and so on. Touch a friend in the list to open a screen with details about the friend and many connection options.
