How to Hide iPhone Location from Find My Friends & iMessage

This guide explains how to hide your iPhone location from Find My Friends and iMessage location tracking. It is easy to disable Find My Friends without others knowing you’re trying to hide your location from them.

With Find Myand iMessage location sharing it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly being watched by friends or family members who can see your location whenever they want to. They can even set alerts to let them know when you arrive at or leave specific locations.

While we are all spending more time at home, perhaps you are heading to the park, running to the store, or simply driving into the country to scream-sing a favorite song until the world makes sense again. When you do this, you may not want anyone to know that you’ve left home. You might even just need a 10-minute break in a parking lot before you head home. No judgment. Here’s how you can work that in without friends or family seeing where you are.

You can simply just stop sharing your location with friends or family in the Find My app, but in some cases, you may not want them to know you’re looking for privacy. You may just want to go off the grid for a bit, or you may need to hide your location for another reason without stopping your iPhone location sharing completely.

When you stop sharing your iPhone location with someone, they will see this change as a message in the iMessage app, and another message when you re-share with them — so turning off and on sharing isn’t a great way to hide your location, or at least not to hide that you are hiding the location.

Remember, most methods of turning off location sharing do not hide your location from your cell phone service provider, from a government agency with a warrant. It simply hides the iPhone location from people you are usually sharing it with.

Instead, you will want to rely on a different method, such as turning your iPhone off, enabling Airplane mode, or sharing from another iPhone or iPad. This guide is updated to work with iOS 14, which most iPhones are running now in 2021. Apple is currently testing ways to let you know if apps are tracking your location in iOS 14.5 beta, which hopefully means it will be easier to hide your location in the coming months.

How do I know if someone stopped sharing their location with me?

Wondering if someone in your Circle has turned off their Location sharing in their app settings? If they have, you will see a message below their name that says “Location Paused”. In order to see their location again, have them open the menu and enable location sharing with your Circle.

When you stop sharing location does it notify the person?

If you stop sharing your location in Find My, the person will not receive a notification, but they will not be able to see you on their list of friends. If you re-enable sharing, they get a notification that you have started sharing your location with them.
