see each other’s locations.

between you and your friend. 

You can view your friends’ locations on a map or in a 
list.

When you open Maps, your friends’ locations are 
shown. Each friend is represented by their picture (from 
People) with an arrow pointing to their approximate 
location. If a friend has chosen to share city-level 
locations, their picture does not have an arrow and 
appears in the middle of the city.

To see a friend’s profile and connect, tap the photo. 
Your friend’s name appears in a balloon. Tap the 
balloon to open a screen with details about your friend 
and many connection options.
