Seems like a good feature to catch your spouse cheating, but I always wonder, how would such transparency let me go buy a surprise birthday gift. I have the same problem with our shared bank account.
- muppetman 6y agoYou don't take your phone with you when you go out to buy the surprise gift, or you turn off location services. The shared bank account is harder, I set aside a little bit of money into an account only I can see each payday, so that I can buy things without the surprise being ruined.

- nucleardog 6y agoTransparency doesn’t mean that anyone cares or is looking, just that the information is available. My wife doesn’t just randomly pull her phone out throughout the day and check where I am. She uses it to answer a question like “is he on his way home / can I start supper?” or “he’s normally home 3 hours ago, has he even left work yet?”. And generally only once I’ve not responded to her just asking me. If I wanted to go buy her a surprise gift I’d just tell her beforehand “got some errands to run after work be a couple hours late” or walk out on a weekend and say “running to the store, back in a couple hours”. In that case unless I take way longer than I figured and don’t check in or respond to her checking in she has no reason to check where I am.
- rightbyte 6y agoI would want an explicit prompt for that. Or eg. "Track me for 8h" if I ski home through the snow in the middle of the night after a dinner or w/e. The thought of being looked up like this is very uneasy.
