IPhone – See other’s Android location on an iPhone

androidgeolocationgoogleiphone

I have an Android phone (Nexus 6P) and my wife has an iPhone 6.

We would like to have the same functionality as Find My Friends offers, without both having iPhones.
Thus, we share each other's location through Google.

I have no problem seeing her location on my Android.

Previously, my wife could see my location using the iPhone Google+ app. There used to be a Locations tab in the app, showing my location. Now, the Location tab is gone. The Google support article "See friends' locations on a map" is obsolete.

Is there any other way on an iPhone to see someone else's location information?

We both have location history, reporting and sharing in Google turned on. My wife has both the Google+ and the Google app installed and running on the iPhone (and is logged in, of course).

Best Answer

My family—one Nexus 6P user and two iPhone 6 users—is really happy with Life360. It provides just the same service as Find My Friends (letting family members view each other's current location), just cross-platform. It isn't battery intensive, works great, and even has some additional features as compared to Find My Friends.

Life360 is free on Google Play and the App Store.
