An update to Google‘s Find My Device app that adds a People tab that shows contacts who have shared their location with you (and vice versa) is now available for Android users. The company announced the feature at the beginning of the month during the March Pixel Drop event, and it began rolling out this week, according to 9to5Google. With the update, you can see the location of your approved contacts on a real-time map, above a list that displays the addresses of their current positions, the distance to you, and the time when this information was last updated.
While Google Maps already allows users to manage location sharing and track trusted contacts, the Find My Device update makes it easier to find all of this information with a simpler view. Under the People tab, you can view contacts who have shared their location with you, as well as those with whom you have shared your location. You can also switch between Google accounts and change your location sharing settings at any time right in the app using the tab in the upper right corner. The update comes almost a year after Google first launched Find My Device, and brings the service closer to Apple’s Find My app.
