iPhone random texting
my iPhone randomly texted my location in a group chat but I have no idea how or how to stop it. It’s happened several times in this same group chat. I do not share locations with any of them. Help?

Hi nannanissa,
In order to check your shared location settings in Messages, follow these steps:
"Share your location in the Messages app
More information on sharing your location can be found here: Find friends and share your location with Find My
If you see that your location is shared, you can choose to stop sharing location. If it is sending your current location only when this happens, check to be sure your screen is locked when it occurs. We also suggest ensuring your software is updated to the latest version, as outdated software can cause features to misbehave. This article should help: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Cheers!

Do you know if you might've been doing anything similar when this happened? If not, let us know what you were doing in the Messages app, like typing or scrolling, as this might help in narrowing things down.
Take care.
Thanks for the reply. I’m not sharing my location w/them in this particular group text but this happens when I’m holding my phone in my hand. Idk if it’s a shortcut I’ve activated or something.
