Ask your friend to explain what happened.


Your friend may well have a photo of you, and know your location. That happens. And placing that info on a website is trivial. It’s also possible you’re sharing your location with them, via Find My.


But I’d wonder whether you consider them a friend, or an acquaintance, as they’ve certainly caused you some concern here.


If you want to review your iPhone location-sharing and related settings, skim the following info, and run Safety Check:
