Spam messages

I received a spam message today, like the ones that are sent to several people at the same time in a group chat. Every time I receive these messages I block the number/email that sent it and delete the chat. This time, I accidentally pressed 'send my location'. I got nervous and deleted the message very fast. I never share my location, so now I wonder if it also got deleted in everyone else's phones. Can they still see my location?


As soon as this happened I disabled the share my location option so this doesn't happen again, but I don't think that helps with the location already sent.

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Hello Hoshikkyo.


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you mistakenly shared your location in a message you received and want to know if the others can see your location. We’re happy to help.


Since you have blocked the others in the message and disabled your location, they should not be able to see your location.


Here’s more information on location services: Turn Location Services and GPS on or off on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Take care.
