Sharing your location with friends and family can be useful in certain situations, such as when you’re in danger, or when you’re visiting a place on your own. Thanks to Google Maps, you can do just that.

Share with a person who has a Google Account

If you haven’t already, add their Gmail address to your Google Contacts.
On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Maps app and sign in.
Tap your profile picture or initial Location sharing New share .
Choose how long you want to share your location.
Tap the profile of the person with whom you want to share your location. If asked about your contacts, give Google Maps access.
Tap Share.

The person you’ve selected will see that you’ve shared your position with them.

Share with a person who doesn’t have a Google Account

To send your location to someone who doesn’t have a Google Account, share your location with a link.

On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Maps app and sign in. Learn how to sign in.
Tap your profile picture or initial Location sharing New share .
To copy your Location sharing link, tap Copy to clipboard.
To share the link with someone, paste the link into an email, text, or other messaging app.

People with this link can find your real-time location for as long as you choose, up to 24 hours.

Stop sharing

On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Maps app .
Tap your profile picture or initial Location sharing.
Tap the profile of the person you don’t want to share your location with anymore.
Tap Stop.

Find someone’s location

Lorsqu’une personne partage sa position avec vous, vous pouvez savoir où elle se trouve sur votre carte.

On your phone, open the Google Maps app .
Tap your profile picture or initial Location sharing.
Tap the profile of the person you want to find.
- To update the person’s location: Tap on a friend’s icon More Refresh.

Ask for someone’s location

If you shared your location with someone, or they shared with you in the past, you can ask for their location in Maps.

On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Maps app .
Tap your profile picture or initial Location sharing.
Tap a contact who shared with you before.
Tap Request Request.

After you ask for your contact’s location, they get your email address, a notification and can:

View your profile to verify who you are.
Share their location with you.
Ignore your request.
Block you. You can’t ask for their location anymore.
