Location Sharing Apple ID

So I changed my number recently so someone would stop harassing me. I’m wondering since I updated it, will people who share their location with me be able to see the new number? The person I’m trying to avoid shares their location with me and I’d like to keep it that way (I don’t share mine with them) but I am concerned about them finding me again.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17

Hey atlantissatlas,


From what you've told us, your new number should be secure, however we'd suggest reaching out to your carrier about what to expect when changing your number to ensure it remains private.


That said, we'd recommend running through the Safety Check feature to double check what data of yours is being shared with whom and then make adjustments as needed from there.


Cheers!
