Inside your family map.

Take a look at the details that help you decide when to check in.

Invite your circle

Open Groups, choose Invite member and send the code to someone you trust. When you’re together, they can scan the QR card instead. Once they join, their name appears in Members.

Read a map update

Choose a family member to see the place and battery level shown on their card. Check the update time before heading out. An offline phone can still show its last shared location.

Review a safety alert

Open Safety to see recent alerts. A low-battery notice can explain why someone might stop updating. For a familiar place such as home or school, open Safe zones to review your saved places.
