How can I find a person’s location live?

If you’re wondering how to locate someone in real-time, particularly using an Android device, there’s a straightforward method available through the Google Maps app. With the Google Maps app installed on your Android phone or tablet, you can easily track down the whereabouts of your friends or family members who have shared their location with you. Here’s a step-by-step guide to assist you in finding someone’s live location.

Firstly, ensure you have the Google Maps app installed on your Android device. Once installed, open the app and navigate to your profile picture or initial, typically located in the top right corner of the screen. From there, you’ll find an option called “Location Sharing.” Tap on this option to proceed further. Within the Location Sharing section, you’ll see a list of individuals who have shared their location with you. Simply tap on the profile of the person you wish to locate in real-time.

Once you’ve selected the profile of the person you want to track, you can then update their live location by tapping on their icon on the map. This will bring up additional options. Look for the “More” button, typically represented by three dots or lines, and tap on it. Within the menu that appears, you should see an option to refresh the location. By selecting this option, you can ensure that you’re viewing the most recent live location of the person you’re tracking. Utilize these steps whenever you need to pinpoint someone’s real-time location through Google Maps on your Android device.
