Tell us your experiences with location sharing apps

3 hours ago 6

Location sharing apps and services have made it easier than ever to keep tabs on our friends and partners. For some, it is a quick and convenient way to keep loved ones updated on changing whereabouts – but others find such technology intrusive and are reluctant to use it.

One recent survey found that nearly 1 in 5 young people believe it’s OK to track their partner whenever they want. With this in mind, we want to hear about your experiences of sharing your location with other adults in your life, whether that’s friends or partners – and, of course, how you feel about having your own location tracked in return. Does having someone able to view your location at all times make you feel safer – or does it feel like surveillance? Has it proved useful, or has it caused problems in your relationships? Either way, tell us about it below.
