Find My iPhone vs Share My Location

What is the difference between “Find My iPhone” and “Share My Location”?


I see an arrow frequently showing my location is being tracked. When I go to settings, privacy, location services, system services, sometimes I see an arrow next to “find my iPhone” and sometimes next to “share my location”.


Which one means someone is tracking me if I gave them unlimited access in “find my friends”?


iPhone XS

Find My iPhone permits you to possibly track it should it be lost or stolen, if it's powered on and connected to a network.


Share my Location permits people to see where you are IF you grant them permission to see where you are.
