What it does

Request and share a one-off location with consent. WhereAreYou works through SMS and messaging links, requires separate approval, and never tracks continuously.

Send a location request through any messaging app, including SMS. The other person approves it in their browser—no app required, no automatic updates, no background tracking. Free for an approximate location; a subscription unlocks the exact one. WhereAreYou is designed for moments when you need to know where someone is now—without turning that moment into ongoing tracking. Choose someone and share a fresh request through SMS or another messaging app that supports links. The recipient opens the link and decides whether to share their current location. They do not need the app. You get the approved location once. It does not refresh or continue running in the background. WhereAreYou cannot…from whereareyou-app.com
