location sharing
Transmitting your whereabouts
Location sharing is a feature on smartphones and apps that lets others see where you are in real time.
It's used for coordinating meetups, checking that family members arrived safely, or tracking deliveries: Can you turn on location sharing so I can see when you're close?
The feature raises privacy concerns when enabled without clear consent or when apps share data with third parties.
