Live Location Sharing, explained
21 Jul 2026 · 2 min read
When something goes wrong on the road, the people who care about you need two things fast: to know that it happened, and to know where you are. Live Location Sharing on Premium does both.
How it starts
A live location session begins on its own the moment you send an SOS, crash detection senses a probable impact, an overspeed alert fires, or someone scans your QR sticker and chooses "Emergency". You can also start one yourself, any time, from the app.
Who can see it
Only the emergency contacts you have added and left enabled — nobody else. Each contact gets their own private link, so access can be withdrawn for one person without affecting anyone else.
How long it lasts
A session runs for a set window and then expires by itself, so there is no sharing left running in the background that you forgot about. You can stop it early at any moment, and stopping it cuts off every contact immediately.
Key takeaways
- Live location sharing works through your enabled Emergency Contacts.
- Sessions start automatically in an emergency, and can also be started manually.
- Every session expires on its own, and you can stop it at any time.
