Location services I share my location with someone indefinitely and yesterday on July 19th around 3:11 p.m. my location showed that I was somewhere I’ve never been before meanwhile I was home the whole time. I am truly confused why or how this could happen and I want to be able to show or prove that I was actually home at that time. I tried location services but it shows I arrived at home at 3:19 when I got out of work at 2:05 and left by 2:10. It is roughly a 15 minute drive from work to my house. So it’s not possible I got home at that time. I guess I’m just wondering if there is a more accurate or reliable way to check location history or some kind of breakdown of exact times you open or check apps. Anything that could confirm I was at my true location and not this other random location. I truly am lost and would appreciate some help. Thank you.

Hi vladine,

I use find my friends to see where my family is, and it is relatively accurate... however, when tracking someone else's location you do need to check what time it was last refreshed and click on the refresh button frequently to ensure the newest location is displayed.

Hope this helps,
Oliver

When using WiFi it is relatively accurate.
