My family currently uses life360(iOS and android). But I hate their privacy policy. I’m looking for an alternative. The thing that’s difficult is I can’t find one that’s opt in to each other. Like my parents are split so they dont want to share with each other but the rest of us do. Prefer selfhosted but anything is better that where we are at. Thanks!!

    I saw what I think was a plugin for osmand that would share your location in real time via telegram. Took a look, it looked okay, but people I know don’t use telegram (or osmand - not necessary but helpful) so forgot it. Sorry, I can’t find it now within osmand or fdroid!

    There’s a few location sharing apps in fdroid, maybe one of them could be an option? Dunno about iOS support, but the way the telegram/osm one worked is the receiver could have it link through to osmand or just click the link in telegram to see the map location online.

    Osmand does have a generic facility for location uploads: within the track recording plugin. You can self-host a custom solution that takes a URL input to log a location point. Sorry, that’s probably more work than you want! I certainly gave up on it!
