1. If Google can better explain this in the Trusted Contacts app help/ support I’ll raise my rating from threeI can't get this app to progress beyond the intro screen describing the option to schedule reminders-thats when I get an error message saying that an error has been encountered regarding my location sharing permissions.
2. From Google Maps open the menu and click on Location Sharing.
3. I triple checked location share setting on their phones and on their google accounts from a laptop but could not find the setting to correct the problem.
4. After sending the request for location to the other phone, the notification comes up on the target device but the location is never autoshared, even after the specified time limit (5 minutes or immediately) is up.
5. At the top of maps in this view is an icon for the people that you are sharing with… this is where you can set in Maps location sharing.
6. I was having trouble getting their location map to show up in the Trusted Contacts app on my phone.
7. Says my contacts are sharing their location with me, but when I try to view it it says that there's no activity.
8. Both phones report location sharing is turned off when the location perm is on, and re-enabling location sharing does nothing.
9. Too bad.EDIT: I'm also having a lot of problems with location sharing.
10. Once I figured this out I was able to set everyone up so that we all could see each other’s location in the map in trusted contacts.
11. GOOGLE...PLEASE FIX THIS! Love this app! It keeps me closer to my loved ones!Great idea, would have been extremely useful in a recent situation where scammers convinced my mom they kidnapped my sister.
