How to stop others from sharing their location with you

I have a someone in my contacts that has seemed to turn on and notify me every time they’re driving and use directions. I want to know if it’s possible to disable notifications such as these. Every post I’ve seen is how to stop others from seeing your location; this is the opposite. I want to keep time sensitive notifications on for maps since that’s useful for directions.

based on the tile of the post the answer is as follows.


Don't accept it.


Follow a friend's shared location

If someone shares their location with you or you request their location and they agree to share it, you can then follow their location.


Ask to follow someone's location

To start following another person, you need to first share your location with them. Then follow these steps:

  1. Open the Find My app and select the People tab.
  2. Select the person you shared your location with.
  3. Scroll down and choose Ask To Follow Location, then select OK.


Respond to a location sharing request

When someone shares their location with you, you can choose to share your location back:

  1. Open the Find My app and select the People tab.
  2. Under the name of the person who sent you their location, choose Share to let them follow your location.
  3. If you don't want to share your location with that person, select Cancel.
