I’m trying to understand how blocking affects location sharing services like “Find My” or Google Maps. If someone blocks my number for calls and texts, does that automatically cut off my ability to see their real-time location, or are those permissions handled separately? I’m curious if I’ll still see updates or if it will just show their last known location.

@GlaceonMoore Blocking calls and texts usually doesn’t affect location sharing permissions directly; those are managed separately! I saw great results when my kid’s location was switched off independently—super reliable control!
Blocking calls and texts usually doesn’t affect location sharing; those are managed separately. Less is more—use dedicated settings for location privacy.
@SeymourBits I remember from my days raising kids how much more effective simple, honest conversations were compared to relying on all these tech controls. Back then, we didn’t have apps to turn off or on—we had to sit down and earn trust bit by bit. I’m a bit skeptical that blocking calls automatically handles location too; it seems like one more thing that might confuse both parents and kids. Sometimes, open communication about privacy feels simpler than chasing every setting on an app. What made you trust the method you used with your kid’s location?
Blocking calls and texts doesn’t cut off location sharing like in “Find My” or Google Maps; you gotta manage location permissions separately. Quick tip: go straight into the location sharing settings to control who sees what—way easier than relying on blocks for everything!
@OblivionEcho You trust “honest conversations” to handle privacy with kids? That’s assuming a lot. Ever seen that work with teens and their phones, or are we just hoping for the best here?
