How does it work?
When someone sends you a message with the trigger, your phone will attempt to get your current location and simply send it back. Initially the app will try and get your location within a 100m radius, but if it can't get this before the request times out, it will send what it has. If there is no location found after the timeout, the app will reply with your last known location and the time that you were there.
Only want certain people to access your location?? Set up a whitelist that tells the app to only respond to certain contacts, or use a blacklist to block individual contacts.
