Not so sure

Every since my husband and I started sharing our locations it takes the app days to update our locations. Doesn’t really help if we can’t see each other’s locations in real time.

OnStar

Unable to add code to join family why is this separate can OnStar just have 1 app. Am convinced the developers of these apps don’t drive.

Latest update broke family

Latest update family members location never refreshes and shows current location. App is useless until they fix that
