To stop sharing your location on an iPhone, you have several options depending on whether you want to stop sharing with everyone or just specific people:
Stop Sharing Location with Specific People
- Open the Find My app.
- Tap the People tab.
- Select the person you want to stop sharing your location with.
- Scroll down and tap Stop Sharing My Location.
The person will not be notified, and you will no longer appear in their list
Alternatively, you can:
- Open the Contacts app.
- Tap the person's name.
- Tap Stop Sharing My Location
Stop Sharing Location with Everyone
- Open the Find My app.
- Tap the Me tab.
- Swipe up and toggle off Share My Location.
This disables location sharing with all contacts without notifying them
Or via Settings:
- Open Settings.
- Tap your Apple ID at the top.
- Select Find My.
- Toggle off Share My Location
Additional Methods to Stop Sharing Location Without Notifications
- Turn on Airplane Mode : This disables all wireless connections and stops location sharing without sending notifications, but your last location will show as outdated
- Turn off Location Services : Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services and toggle it off. This stops location sharing for all apps and contacts without notification
- Block the Contact : Blocking a person in your Contacts will stop location sharing with them without notification, though they may notice your location disappears
These methods allow you to control your location sharing on iPhone discreetly and effectively.
