Find My Mates puts everyone who matters on one live map. Make a group for your family, your housemates, your riding crew or a weekend hike, and see where each other is in real time β with the app open, in your pocket, or your phone locked in your bag. No more "where are you?" texts. No more standing at the wrong entrance. ONE LIVE MAP β’ Watch every member of a group move in real time β’ See at a glance whether a pin is seconds old or hours old β’ Tap a mate for their profile, when they were last seen, and the groups you share GROUPS ON YOUR TERMS β’ Create a group in seconds, with a cover photo and a join policy β’ Invite with a six-letter code, or add someone straight from your contacts β’ Every invite waits for the other person to accept β nobody is added silently β’ Owners decide whether members can invite, or keep that to themselves SHARING IS PER GROUP, AND ALWAYS YOURS β’ Turn sharing on or off for each group independently β’ Turn the last one off and location collection stops altogether β’ Leave a group, or delete your account from inside the app, and your history goes with it YOUR DAY, MAPPED β’ A day-by-day timeline of your stops and your trips β’ Walked, rode, moved β with distance, moving time, average speed and top speed β’ Step back through earlier days on the same map BUILT FOR A PHONE THAT HAS TO LAST THE DAY β’ Motion-aware tracking that eases off when you are sitting still β’ Backs off further when your battery is low β’ Works off-grid: fixes are kept on the phone and uploaded when signal returns PRIVACY No ads. No analytics SDKs. No trackers. Your location goes to our servers and to the group members you picked, and nowhere else β it is never sold, never handed to data brokers, and never used for advertising. Sharing is opt-in per group and reversible at any moment, and account deletion lives in Settings, not in an email to support. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Verdict
