Google Maps reveals real-time location sharing for Android and iOS

Google Maps will soon let users on Android and iOS share their real-time location with friends, family, and colleagues — all while trying to keep a mindful eye on privacy.

When the feature rolls out “soon worldwide,” you’ll be able to slide out the side menu or just tap the blue dot marking where you are and choose “share location.”

From there, you choose who you want to be share your precise location with and for how long.

That interval ranges from 15 minutes to 3 days, but there’s no permanent option to speak of.
