Google has recently updated its Contacts app with a new feature that lets users share their live location with their contacts. The feature, called Location Sharing, is designed to help users find their friends and family members in real time, as well as to provide them with safety and convenience.
According to Google, Location Sharing is easy to use and secure. Users can choose which contacts they want to share their location with, and for how long. They can also stop sharing their location at any time, or request the location of their contacts. The shared location is only visible to the selected contacts, and not to anyone else.
Google says that Location Sharing can be useful for various scenarios, such as meeting up with friends, checking on loved ones, or coordinating travel plans. For example, users can share their location with their friends when they are on their way to a restaurant, or request the location of their family members when they are on a road trip.
Location Sharing is available on the latest version of the Google Contacts app for Android and iOS devices. Users can also access the feature from the Google Maps app, or from the web browser. Google says that Location Sharing is rolling out gradually to all users around the world.
Google Contacts is one of the many apps that Google offers to help users manage their personal and professional contacts. The app allows users to sync their contacts across their devices, backup their contacts to the cloud, edit their contact information, and more. The app also integrates with other Google services, such as Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Duo.
Google Contacts is free to download and use, and requires a Google account to sign in. Users can download the app from the Google Play Store or the App Store, or visit contacts.google.com to access the web version.
