What is how to stop sharing location with one person without them knowing?

Here's how you can stop sharing your location with someone without them knowing directly:

  • Using Platform Settings:

    • iPhone (Find My App): You can stop sharing your location with a specific person through the Find%20My app. Go to the "People" tab, select the person, and then tap "Stop Sharing My Location." The other person will not receive a notification. They will simply stop seeing your location. They might suspect something if they regularly check, but they won't be directly alerted.

    • Google Maps Location Sharing: In Google Maps, open the app, tap your profile picture, go to "Location sharing," select the person you want to stop sharing with, and tap "Stop." Like with Find My, the person will not be directly notified. Your location will simply disappear from their view in Google Maps. They also might suspect if they regularly check.

  • Turning Off Location Services (Temporarily): While this stops sharing with everyone, you can turn off location services entirely and then turn it back on after a short period. If the person doesn't check your location in the interval, they may not notice. This is useful as a temporary solution. However, it could affect other apps that rely on your location.

  • Using a Secondary Device/Account: A slightly more involved method is to share location from a secondary device (e.g., an old phone) or a secondary account. You can leave the secondary device at a location of your choosing or carry it with you to simulate your location. This isn't stopping location sharing directly, but rather providing a misleading location.

  • Be Aware of Context Clues: Consider the person's behavior and patterns. If they are highly observant or frequently check your location, they may notice more quickly. Think about how often you would share locations with them. If you shared all of the time with them, and then just stopped, they may suspect that you stopped sharing locations with them.
