Live friend locations
See connected friends who have accepted your invite and enabled sharing.
Consent-based iPhone location sharing
See trusted friends and family on one map, save important places, and get arrival or departure alerts. Everyone chooses when to connect and when to share.
For iPhone and iOS 17 or later. Location accuracy depends on device settings, connectivity, and system limits.
One clear map
Location Tracker: GPS Friends combines the everyday tools people expect from a family locator and friend tracker without pretending a phone number alone can reveal someone’s location.
See connected friends who have accepted your invite and enabled sharing.
Connect by invite link, six-character code, or QR code instead of public discovery.
Create zones for home, work, school, or other places and choose arrival or departure notifications.
Pin useful destinations for quick access on the same map as your circle.
Find coffee, food, health services, and fuel near your current map location.
Choose a trusted contact or app and share your current coordinates. Nothing sends automatically.
How it works
Share a link, code, or QR code with a friend or family member.
Their location appears only after they join your circle and enable sharing.
Pause sharing, remove a connection, revoke location permission, or delete your synced account.
Clear expectations
Search results often promise impossible or invasive phone-number tracking. This app is designed for transparent location sharing between people who consent.
| Capability | Location Tracker | Important limit |
|---|---|---|
| Track friends or family | Yes, after connection | They must accept and enable sharing. |
| Track location by phone number | No secret lookup | A phone number can help prepare an invite, not expose a location. |
| Arrival and departure alerts | Yes | Background behavior depends on iOS permissions and limits. |
| Contact emergency services | No | SOS sharing is manual and is not an emergency service. |
Privacy by design
Your location is shared only with people you connect with and only while sharing is enabled.
