Transparency 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.
