Lol. I keep telling my partner that I’m sharing my location data with her so don’t need to worry where I might be (Im pretty bad at reporting home unfortunately)

Never. Not even once.

To share my location with my partner I need to share it with a third part also and I'm pretty selective about that so I never even signed up for this kind of thing.

I use location services but just leave them off until I need them. I'm not super hard to find anyways

today the guardian almost wrote something about a real concern that totally happened with sane people

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

I’m pretty sure she’ll think I’m about to pop out from behind a car to scare her.

I have location sharing between me and my friends because... What if something happens to any of us? That's it, nothing else, I don't spy on them.

My best friend drove me to work the other day. We missed a turn and had to take a detour. Not two blocks after that missed turn, his girlfriend calls him asking where he's going lmao

I would be willing to share locations because I worry about people and don't want them to worry about me, but I'll toss this phone in a Blendtec blender before I install an application that gives some creep in fuckin Dayton Ohio my and my girlfriend's GPS coordinates 24/7. Tasker does the job well enough anyhow
