How Do I Add Someone on Google Maps?

Published in Google Maps 2 mins read

You can't directly add someone on Google Maps. Google Maps is primarily a mapping and navigation service, not a social networking platform. It allows you to share your location with others or view locations shared with you, but it doesn't have a feature to add friends or contacts.

If you're looking to share your location with someone, here's how you can do it:

  1. Open Google Maps: Launch the Google Maps app on your smartphone or tablet.
  2. Tap on your profile picture: You'll find it in the top right corner of the screen.
  3. Select "Share location": This option will allow you to choose who you want to share your location with and for how long.
  4. Choose your contacts: You can select specific contacts from your list or choose to share with everyone.
  5. Set the duration: You can choose to share your location for a specific time period, such as 15 minutes, 1 hour, or until you turn it off.

You can also share your location with others through other Google services like Google Chat or Gmail.
