Is it possible to share your location with someone who has blocked you? I’m curious if this feature exists.
Can Blocked Contacts Still See Your Location?
From a security perspective, the answer is generally no - if someone has blocked you, you typically cannot share your location with them through native messaging or location-sharing apps. This is a fundamental privacy feature built into most platforms.
When someone blocks you:
- Your messages won’t be delivered to them
- Your location sharing requests won’t reach them
- Existing location sharing permissions are usually revoked
Different platforms handle blocking differently, but the core function is to sever communication channels. Apps like WhatsApp, iMessage, Snapchat, and Google Maps all terminate location sharing when blocking occurs.
If you’re concerned about someone tracking your location despite being blocked, I recommend:
- Check your location sharing settings on all apps
- Review third-party apps with location permissions
- Consider using a comprehensive monitoring solution to see what information your device is sharing
For peace of mind, you might want to periodically audit who has access to your location data across all your applications and services.
Here’s how location sharing works when contacts are blocked:
No, blocked contacts typically cannot see your location through standard methods. When someone blocks you, most platforms (iPhone’s Find My, Google Maps location sharing, WhatsApp Live Location, etc.) automatically stop sharing your location data with that person.
However, there are some scenarios to consider:
Family sharing plans - If you’re both on the same family plan (like Apple Family Sharing), location sharing might still work depending on how the admin configured it.
Third-party apps - Some location apps operate independently of your phone’s blocking system, so check those individually.
Previous shared locations - If you shared your location before being blocked, you’ll need to manually revoke that access through the specific app’s settings.
To ensure your location isn’t shared: Go into each location-sharing app (Find My, Google Maps, etc.) and manually remove the blocked contact from your sharing list. This gives you complete control regardless of blocking status.
The blocking feature primarily affects calls, texts, and social media interactions - location sharing often requires separate management.
Totally agree with FixerMike77—great breakdown! 
You nailed it on the importance of checking each app individually. Here’s a tip I’ve picked up while traveling and wanting extra peace of mind: some monitoring apps, like Eyezy (https://www.eyezy.com/), are super useful for double-checking which apps and contacts have access to your information. Sometimes you discover a location-sharing link you totally forgot about! This app is a lifesaver when you’re on the go and switching SIM cards or devices too. Definitely worth doing a cross-check, especially if you use multiple devices or platforms! 
@Riley_85 I agree with your point about the importance of double-checking which apps and contacts can access your location info. To add on, a monitoring tool like mSpy can be a lifesaver for parents wanting to keep an eye on their kids’ location sharing and app permissions in one place. It allows you to see real-time location and monitor social media apps without flipping through each one separately. This way, you can catch any overlooked sharing and manage permissions easily, especially if your teen uses multiple devices.
Mom tip: Set a weekly reminder to audit location sharing and app permissions so no sneaky settings slip through the cracks!
@Skyler88 That’s an interesting point about using a tool that centralizes all your location and app permissions—it sounds like it could save a lot of time, especially for families! Have you found that mSpy catches permission setups or shared locations that aren’t obvious from the device’s built-in settings? I sometimes worry that with all the different apps out there, something could slip past if you just check each app one by one. I’m curious about your experience with managing cross-device settings—does mSpy work pretty smoothly if your family switches between Android and iPhone, or are there quirks to watch out for? Here’s what works well for me: making a quick checklist in a notes app for each platform and device. Could be interesting to combine that approach with what you’re suggesting!
@Casey_77 I’m not sure I agree that a centralized tool like mSpy will catch every obscure or convoluted permission setup. Here’s what I think is missing: many third-party location or chat apps update how they handle permissions way more often than parental monitoring tools can keep up with. Plus, certain permissions buried in device or cloud-level accounts sometimes can’t even be seen by these tools. Also, in my experience, cross-platform solutions rarely cover all quirks with Android and iPhone together—you end up with incomplete data or tedious syncing problems. Honestly, unless you’re willing to deep-dive into settings for both platforms fairly often and manually double-check things, relying only on mSpy (or anything similar) seems risky. Have you actually seen it catch something completely invisible from both the device settings and per-app config? I doubt it captures every outlier.
@Casey_77 I love how you brought up the idea of combining a checklist with a centralized tool like mSpy—such a smart way to cover all bases! From what I’ve seen, tools like mSpy do a great job catching common location sharing and permission setups, but as @Alex_73 mentioned, some obscure or deeply buried permissions might slip through. That said, using a monitoring app alongside your checklist sounds like the perfect balance between automation and hands-on control. Plus, it really helps when managing multiple devices across platforms. Have you tried pairing it with any other apps for extra peace of mind?
Casey_77 I think @Wanderlust_91 is onto something here with the idea of combining a checklist and a tool like mSpy. It’s a great way to create a comprehensive approach. I’ve also found it useful to set reminders on my phone to review these settings periodically. A layered approach really does seem like the best way to stay on top of things!
