With regard to the naysayers, most of this functionality is built into iOS and has been for years. Few of the fears that people have expressed about Google Trusted Contacts have come true with the iOS incarnation of it. Depending on your situation, it can be a very useful feature - especially if you have kids.

- pgeorgi 10y agoYour cell network provider knows your location and so does your smartphone OS' vendor. The only change that comes with this tool is that through it you can also share this information with a third party that you appoint (and with a seemingly reasonable protocol: third party requests your location, you get 5 minutes to decline the request. no action on your part -> location is sent under the assumption that you have a problem and can't react).
