Google continues to surprise Android users with further improvements. This time, the company has decided to expand a popular feature from Google Maps—the ability to share your location—on a broader scale. The new tool, debuting as part of Google Play Services, will allow users to safely and easily share their location not only with loved ones but also with apps that require it.

Android focuses on reliable and proven solutions

For years, Android has emphasized proven features that gained popularity in other Google services. One of the best examples is Google Maps, which enables location sharing and tracking the whereabouts of other users. This solution is valued for its convenience and security, especially during travel.

Now, Google has decided to take it a step further by introducing these features on a larger scale, directly into the Android system. This means users will be able to use location sharing more comprehensively, regardless of the application they are using.

Google Play will soon receive a new tool

Google is preparing to introduce a new tool within Google Play Services, which will be available on all devices with the Android system. The new feature, already familiar from the Google Maps app, will enable location sharing with friends and apps that require access to location data. This solution will simplify the process of sharing your location and make it easier to use services based on geolocation data.

Interestingly, Google plans to integrate this feature directly into the system, allowing for better control over privacy and data security. This tool is expected to be implemented in the coming weeks, and Android users can expect a notification about the new feature on their devices.
