iOS 8: Send location sharing

By sending a location share, you can have anyone track you on iOS 8. We'll show you exactly how this works.

First, open the conversation you want in the "Messages" app. Alternatively, you can create a new message.
If you tap the "Details" button in the top right-hand corner, you will find "Location approval" in the middle.
Now choose how long you want to share your location. Here you have the choice between the duration of one hour to the end of the day or unlimited.
The release is then sent to the selected contact. This can now track your location using the map in the message.
The contact also receives a request to release the location. As you have created the release, you can also end it prematurely.
