Share your location with family

Learn to share your location with family, in 4 short steps.

4 steps · about 3 minutes · practice it with SafePhone Pro

Step by step

  1. Open "Safety" (in the list of all apps).
  2. Tap "Location sharing".
  3. Choose who can see where you are, for a while: tap "Emily", then "For 1 hour", then "Share".
  4. Back home safely? Tap "Stop sharing".

These steps are written for SafePhone, a pretend Android-style smartphone in your web browser. On your own smartphone, the buttons and menus may look a little different, but the idea is the same.

Practice it where nothing can break

SafePhone works like a real smartphone, but nothing you do goes anywhere. Try every button, make mistakes and start again.
