Live Location allows you to share your real-time location with your friends or in groups.
You can set the duration of sharing and stop at any time you like. Once you stop sharing or time has expired, you will no longer be sharing your live location. Moreover, only the groups or friends you are sharing with can see your live location. While sharing, distances away, speeds and the altitudes will be shown for each person.
