Have you noticed the “Live” label on Find My Friends and wondered what it means? Here’s a simple explanation of what “Live” indicates and how it affects your location sharing.
1. Real-Time Location Updates
When you see “Live” next to a friend’s location in Find My Friends (now part of the Find My app), it means that their location is being updated in real-time. Instead of showing a static point, it continuously tracks their movement as they travel.
2. More Accurate Tracking
The “Live” feature provides more precise and up-to-date information compared to the usual periodic location updates. This is especially useful when you need to meet someone and want to see exactly where they are in the moment.
3. Privacy Considerations
Only the people who have explicitly shared their location with you will show as “Live.” If you’re sharing your location, your friends can see your live movements, but you can stop sharing at any time through the Find My app’s settings.
“Live” on Find My Friends means that you’re seeing someone’s location in real-time, offering more accurate and current tracking. This feature enhances location sharing, allowing you to follow someone’s movements as they happen.
