Why do you share your location?

I feel like the only time I've done it would be dropping a pin and that would be maybe like on the beach or somewhere.

It's an easy way to be like, hey, like even if I can't get a hold of you, I can check the you made her home safely.

I know you passed out.

My dad wanted me to have it on at all times so he could always know where I was.

A lot of people have shared it with me when they're like going on first dates. I don't really want all of those location services turned on. I was really into Google Outchute. I used Google Latitude to like do

my time sheets on my whole job. Welcome to why'd you push that button. A show where Ashley Carman

and Caitlin Tiffany, that's me, talk about the tiny decisions that technology forces us to make.

Today we are talking about location sharing.

Yeah, the question of the day is why do you location share?

And there are a bunch of different ways.

But first, we should probably explain to you what we mean by location sharing.

So you might know there are multiple ways to share pretty much your precise location with people you know or strangers, depending on

what platform you're using. So on the iPhone, for example, you can share your location with

your friends, call it by my friends. So it could be your friends. In some cases, it's probably

your mom, but with someone, you know. And then there's also something called Snap Maps, which is a new

feature that Snapchat recently launched that is basically a little map with Bitmoji cartoons on it

of yourself and others. And you can see if you choose to share it where other people are that

you're friends with on Snapchat. So right now, I can see where Casey Newton, the Silicon Valley editor of The Verges.

I see you, Casey.

I see you on that San Francisco block.

Hope you're doing well.
