Meeting up with friends or checking in with loved ones? Stop texting "where are you?" — share your real-time location instantly, and stop anytime. LoveTracker helps you stay connected with the people who matter most — privately and securely. Open the app only when you want to share your location, such as meeting friends or letting loved ones know where you are. You can now also capture and share location-based screenshots, including your and your friend's positions, for even more convenient sharing. IMPORTANT: Location sharing requires mutual consent. You only share with, and see, people who have agreed to share with you. Share when you want, stop anytime. Key Features: Live Location Sharing – Share your real-time location with friends or family when needed. Location Screenshot Sharing – Capture and share screenshots with your location and your friend's location included, perfect for meeting up or showing your dynamic. Privacy & Control – You are always in control. Location is shared only when you choose to, between you and people who have agreed to share with you, and you can stop anytime by closing the app or turning off location access. History Route View – Review your own past movement paths, and — only for friends who have chosen to share with you — the routes they shared during those times. All location sharing is mutual and consent-based. LoveTracker keeps connection simple — only when you want it, and only between you and your loved ones. terms of use: https://lok-api-prod.lovetrackers.com/terms_of_use.html privacy policy: https://lok-api-prod.lovetrackers.com/privacy_policy.html
