Started or stopped sharing location notifications

How can I stop or disable the notification in the message that states “you started sharing location with …”


it does it when I both start and stop sharing my location with each contact and the message cannot be deleted from the convo.


is there a way to disable or stop that notification from ever appearing?


thank you.

Hey there, MikeyB50!


According to Share or stop sharing your location,


 If you initially shared your location from iMessage rather than Find My and stop sharing, the person you stop sharing with may receive a banner in iMessage that you’ve stopped sharing your location. If you began sharing from Find My, and then stop sharing your location through Find My the person won’t be able to see you on their list of friends. If you reenable sharing, they get a notification that you’ve started sharing your location with them.


Have a good one!
