Trusted Contacts is a new application from Google that allows users to give other contacts a few locations sharing features.
If you need to know where someone in your contact list is at this moment, you can’t really do that. If both of your have the Trusted Contacts application installed, you will be able to request the location or at least to find out the last known locations.
There are lots of reason why two users will want to use this feature, but the main reason is safety. Since both parties need to have this app installed and the right permissions in place, there is no risk to infringe upon the privacy of the users.
The application allows users to request the location of a contact. If that contact is OK, then he can deny the request, but if he’s unable to deny the request, the last known location will be provided.
It’s also possible to proactively share your location, and the user can see the phone’s activity status to quickly know that the contact is OK.
