‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing

Many apps like Find My allow us to follow our loved ones at all times. But just because we can, does it mean we should?

We only share our locations when for example my wife is coming home from shopping groceries so that I know when to go out to the parking lot to help carry the groceries home.

I had no idea people share locations constantly.

My friend shares her's with me continuously. I do not share mine. I see no point. I don't even know why she shares her's with me. I've only found it a bit useful two or three times over the years. And more of in a "I don't have to walk around this area to find her" way. If I didn't have her location I'd just walk around a couple minutes to I spotted her.
