How to Share Your Location with Friends in the Find My App

I go for a lot of solo hikes and even go camping on my own sometimes. When I go, I remember the golden rule of solo exploration: always let someone know where you're going. So how do I share my location using my iPhone? The Find My app makes this extremely simple, and gives my exact location wherever I am, just in case. The best part is that I can share it with anyone I choose to share it with, but it's not visible to others. This article will show you exactly how to share your location with someone using the Find My app. Related: How to Set Up Find My iPhone How to Share Your Location Using Your iPhone This simple trick will make your location known only to those you want to share it with.
