Many apps like Find My allow us to follow our loved ones at all times. But just because we can, does it mean we should?

      Yes, Apple already has my location. Using the location finder in iOS does not share data with advertisers. Also, I spend 99% of my time at my house. Wtf kind of secret shit do you think I’m up to?
