Is it though? I have FindMy turned on for my wife and I's phones and we share our locations. It's nice to know that if I pass out at the gas station or something she knows where to send the police, and vice versa. Or yknow if I lose my phone.
I'm sure it can be and is abused by some people, but my wife and I trust each other so this has literally never been a problem for us. We've never used it and I don't think about it at all - but if something happened it's nice to feel safer. I'm sure other people with healthy relationships probably find it the same way.
I would hope that if I passed out at a gas station, other people at that gas station (or nearby) would call for help for me. At least that's how it would work where I'm from.
But is that because you do not want/care that they know, or because you want them to NOT know? Our family is not required by any means to actively inform each other about our movements, but at the same time they're no secret. I don't even check Apple's tracking app daily but when I need it, it is so convenient. "Hey, I'll come pick you up in 20; I see you're at the park. Just check on me and I'll pass by to pick you up."
The typical example when we use it is when one person is somewhere and another person is driving and will do a quick road-side pickup while passing by. Don't want to stand outside in the sleet for ten minutes waiting for the family member who is delayed due to weather? You could call every other minute and distract them, or you just check where they are right then.
I see how that's useful. Seems weird to have it on all the time though. I don't care if they know, just seems weird to have someone know where I'm at all the time.
