The Find My feature on iPhones, iPads, Mac, and other Apple devices are very important in many ways. For example, with this feature, users can find the location of their devices without having to look go around looking for it.

Apart from that, when the Location sharing feature is enabled and shared with selected friends or family members, they can also be able to locate your apple device even if it gets missing. These and many more are some of the features of location-sharing on many Apple devices.

Some people may see this feature as useful, and others may not see it to be useful. In this guide, however, we are going to recommend to you some of the top 3 reasons why use location sharing on iPhones, iPad, and Mac.

1. Location Sharing Can Help You Find Lost Apple Device

Every person who owns a smart device never dreams of it getting lost especially when they bought not long ago. For this reason, they try their best to protect the device from getting missing or stolen.

Although this will work, there may be a time when out of a slight mistake you may end up misplacing your device. In such cases, the Find My feature on your Apple device can be the best way to locate your device.

If you had enabled location sharing prior to your device getting lost, the other devices can use this feature to find where your device was last pinged and if possible, whether it is online or not. From there, the necessary next steps can be taken to retrieve the device.

2. Location Sharing Allows You To Know Someone Is Without Asking Them

If you have a teenager or a child at the university, then you will find this point very useful. As we all know, children these days do not like to be controlled or overwatched, most of them like to make their own mistakes and get corrected.

For this reason, some of them always give their parents the wrong information especially, about where they are going. With the help of the Location Sharing feature, you can find out where your child is without asking him or her.

Apart from using it to find where your child is, it can be used generally to find the location of anyone at all without asking them since some people prefer to stay independent.

3. Location Sharing Provides Some Level Of Security

On a normal, someone cannot know what is going on in your life without being around you. Unless you often talk to the person on the phone or any other medium, some issues concerning you cannot be known.

But with the location sharing feature, a friend or relative can use the places you visit to know whether there’s something going on with you that he or she can help. On the other side, once you use this feature you rest assured that you and your device are somehow safe.

For example, when your phone pings to your house for more than say two days whiles you have work, someone can see that something is wrong with you. This may even cause the person to come and check up and see if everything is okay with you.

Conclusion

Using Location Sharing on your Apple device is very useful in many ways. This guide has talked about most of them but there are several others.
