We deleted a contact on my teen's phone (with their approval). They had location sharing turned on for this contact before the contact was deleted. Is the contact still able to track my teen's location? We did not turn it off before deleting the contact.
iPhone 14, iOS 18
Yes. This contact will still be able to track your teen’s location. Once you removed their contact, It will continue to share location and just show up as a phone number in the Find My app. If you want to stop sharing location with them, you’ll have to select them in Find My then select Stop Sharing Location.

Can a deleted contact still track location if location sharing was not turned off before deleting?
