Live location

Share my live location

A taste of live sharing, right from the hub: choose a duration, tap share, and hand someone the link so they can follow your dot on a map. It runs while this tab stays open and ends itself when the timer runs out. For background sharing that keeps going with the screen off, reach for the My Location app or the dedicated livelocation.app.

Share for

We’ll ask your browser for location permission when you start. Your live position is sent only while you’re sharing, and only to people who have your link.

Share even with the app closed

The free Android app shares your live location in the background — keep it going with the screen off, choose longer durations, and share with friends by name.

Get the app

Your live location is visible only to people with the link, updates stop the moment you stop sharing, and everything is deleted automatically when the timer ends.

How to share your live location from your browser

  1. Choose how long to share, then tap Share my live location and allow the browser’s location prompt.
  2. We start broadcasting your position and build a private link — your dot appears on the map and updates as you move.
  3. Copy the link or use the share button to send it. The person who opens it watches you live; tap Stop sharing any time, or let the timer end it.

Browser sharing vs. the app

Sharing here runs while this tab stays open and lasts up to four hours — ideal for a quick “I’m on my way”. For longer trips or hands-off sharing, the free My Location app broadcasts in the background with the screen off, supports durations up to 24 hours, and lets you share with friends by name. See the full live location guide.

Is sharing my live location private?

Yes. Your position is broadcast only after you tap share, only to people who have the link, and only while you’re sharing. Stop at any time and the dot goes offline immediately; when the timer ends, the channel and your last position are deleted automatically. The link is never listed or indexed, and we don’t keep a history of where you’ve been.

Frequently asked questions

How do I share my live location without an app?
Open this page, choose a duration, tap “Share my live location” and allow the prompt. You’ll get a link to send — whoever opens it watches your position move on a map in real time. It works on phones and computers with no install.

Does my browser have to stay open while sharing?
Yes — browser sharing runs while this tab is open. If you lock your phone or close the tab, updates pause. For background sharing with the screen off, use the free My Location app.

How do I stop sharing my live location?
Tap “Stop sharing” and your live dot goes offline instantly. It also stops on its own when the timer ends, and the link is deleted automatically — there’s no way for it to keep tracking you afterward.

Is my location stored on a server?
Only your latest position is held briefly so the viewer can show it, and it’s deleted within a couple of minutes of you stopping. There’s no history or trail kept, and the link isn’t indexed or shared with anyone you don’t send it to.
