Grooming

Sending location

Risk flag

Sharing your real-time GPS location with someone, either as a one-time share or a continuous live location through apps like Snapchat, iMessage, Find My, or Google Maps.

How kids use it

Teens routinely share live locations with friends as a social norm. Risk: predators ask for location shares, and teens may not realize a continuous share means someone can track them in real time indefinitely.
