Accepting an invitation

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

Accept and share back. You can see your friend’s location, and your friend can see yours.

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.

You can change how your location is shared with each friend at any time. Refer to “To share your location with friends and request to see their locations” earlier in this chapter for more details.

Showing your friends

You can show your friends using the map view or the list view.

Map view

When you open Google Maps, it shows your friends’ locations. Each friend is represented by a photo icon with an arrow pointing at his or her approximate location. If a friend has opted to enable city-level sharing, his or her icon will not have an arrow and it appears in the middle of the city. Refer to “To share your location with friends and request to see their locations” earlier in this chapter for more details.
