The people they interviewed for this article truly sound bonkers
That being said - I share my Find My location with my SO, my parents, and a couple close friends I don’t live near anymore.
For those saying this causes fights in relationships, no it doesn't - the relationship has issues despite this, not because of this. My SO and I fight sometimes, not once because of a ‘suspicious’ location. Because neither of us are cheating shitbags and we know this.
I travel a lot and I know it gives my Mom peace of mind if she can quickly glance and know I’m safe. Close friends are convenient, especially when you don’t live very close anymore. A few times I have seen us closer than normal and plan something to meet up.
