Tracking (phone) location for reassurance

What type of phone?

The standard location sharing facility on Android devices seems to work well, and does not share anything they don't already know!

Is there /anything/ they don't already know?! ;-)

Almost everything in my case. I have a throwaway email address with an empty Google account to use when I (very occasionally) actually have to log in to Google on my Android phone. 99% of the time it remains unlogged in to any account. I use it only for making calls and SMS. Much of the time it sits in my study on the charger, not going around with me.

For 2FA calls and such I have an A&A VOIP account with a mobile number.

Two fairly recent (few years) Android phones.

"standard location sharing facility on Android devices"

Could you be more specific, please? :-)

So far I can see that using Google features can probably solve this.

Launch Google Maps

click on your avatar (icon or initials)

Location Sharing

choose who from your contacts

choose how long to allow it for (or indefinitely)

And if you do indefinitely, you will get occasional emails reminding you that you are sharing with however many people.

Once on, the the see where you are on google maps...

Thanks people!

I don't understand this.

Off radar for a while?

You posted to the wrong chat? So you accidentally told your mistress that you love her and accidentally told your wife you were going to shag her senseless? Or was the wife unable to tell when you last looked at WhatApp?

Posted from my phone to my tablet instead of from my phone to the phone

So I thought that I'd updated where I was, but hadn't.

Not very complicated, is it?
