Might be another Magic word to activate live video capturing or timed snapshot (1 per second) or something like that would really help in certain situations.
My mum (85yo) is my first beta tester. I try to introduce her to Trusted Contacts but it was not clear for her. No doubt it is because it was not clear for me neither.
I figured out what was not clear for me: it's the fact that we only share our position for 24h.
But what I miss the most with this app is a widget. G+ location sharing have one, with a simple "refresh" button that is very convenient. I wish for a soon update in this way.
The User can start or stop sharing of position anytime.
The Trusted Contact can request position of the User anytime. If User is online, that request will also start the position sharing for the next 24 hours to the requesting Trusted Contract.
@ShafiulB Yes, the app works when you are offline by using your last known location. Please see the Google Blog post for more details on this very helpful feature as well as the Help Center. Thanks for sharing info too, @YK1001.
@Teejai I'm so sorry to hear about your experience but am glad you are doing well today.

But if they are frequently request for the location of their loved one(s), they will lose their loved one(s) faster than they get location 😄
All advantages have disadvantages 🙂
If they do not trust to they loved one...this app cant help them...their relationship is already over, but this app can be helpful for fast ending in that situation 🙂🙂🙂
