U mean this option?On some phone models, background app refresh might be restricted for Google Maps. This can limit the app's ability to continuously update your friend's location. Check phone's settings to ensure background refresh is enabled for Google Maps.

How does it workFor me didn't work at all, had to use Whatsapp location sharing instead
I don't remember, there's an option somewhere in whatsapp, friend showed me, used this once. Find a tutorial on youtube or something.How does it work
Yeah, I've seen it.I don't remember, there's an option somewhere in whatsapp, friend showed me, used this once. Find a tutorial on youtube or something.
I need something that'll share locations for longer time, Whatsapp only works for 8hrsCheck on the permitions of the app, let's say you are conecting to whatssap for the frist time and ask you for permission to see your contacts you have a yes or no but with location you have three options, only this moment, while using the app and no, while using the app it works until the cellphone kill the process in the background, go to the app permission and in location click always that should fix it, at least for me that worked but will defentely consume a little bit more of battery not a big difference to cause a problem.
