Where Are You?

This free service enables you to locate the phones and other mobile devices of friends and family (or even your own devices, if you have more than one). Use it to:

* Check whether someone you're waiting for is on their way and how far away they are, without risking calling while they're driving.

* Know where your kids are without texting them every five minutes.

* Get an idea of how much longer your significant other will be out running errands.

* Etc.

To protect your privacy, 2-stage authorization is required before anyone else can locate your phone:

* First, they must know your email address and get an authorization code from you. The code expires in 10 minutes, so it can't be reused if someone else discovers it later.

* Second, after they have requested authorization, they still cannot locate you until you approve their request on your phone.

You can revoke authorization at any time.

Update a device's location up to once every 30 seconds. (Continuous updates are not supported to minimize battery and mobile data usage.) Older location pins become more transparent so that you can see a person's route, and know where they are now.
