When it comes to sharing location with someone, one of the questions asked is “can someone tell if i check their location on iphone”.
Like seriously you wouldn’t want the other person to know that you’re checking the person’s location or doing it very often.
So in this article, I will explain to you how location sharing works on iphone especially on iMessage and find my app, and if someone will find out if you checked their location on iPhone, ipad, apple watch or Mac computer.
This topic is only for iphone or apple location sharing.
Can someone tell if i check their location on iphone?
The straight answer is no. Someone will never know if another person is checking their location on iphone using find my app or iMessage location.
As long as you’re using find my app or iMessage location feature, you can check someone’s location several times and I’m telling you that the person will never know.
There’s no feature on ios location sharing that makes it possible to find out who views your location as at this moment of writing this post.
However, you can only guess that this very person you’re sharing location with, will definitely check your location especially if the person is very close to you in terms of relationship.
For example, your wife, girlfriend, mother, father, siblings or your very close friends.
Once you’re sharing your location with someone very close to you, there’s likelihood that the person will check your location.
Talking about can someone tell if i check their location on iphone, the answer is no. There’s no feature on iphone or apple device that makes it possible to know if someone views your location.
Maybe later in the future apple will add the feature because I found it to be quite useful knowing if someone is tracking your location on Find My app or iMessage location.
So if you’re worried that the other person will find out that you’re checking his or her location on your iPhone, ipad, apple watch or Mac computer, you shouldn’t worry at all because apple doesn’t notify, indicate or notify thar someone is viewing or checked your location on iphone.

If I check someone’s location on the find my iPhone app do they get alerted?
The answer is no. They don’t get alerted if you check their location on Find My app in iphone, ipad or Mac computer.
No alert will be sent that someone or Charlie is viewing your location or Charlie checked your location today.
The only time alert will be sent is when you start sharing location with someone, and also when you stop sharing location with someone.
But for someone getting an alert if you check their location on Find My app, that won’t happen.
Don’t worry or bother yourself thinking that they will find out.
Unless apple now add a feature to make someone to find out or to know who checked their location.

How location sharing works on find my app
Apple Find My is a tracking and locating service designed to help users locate their Apple devices and personal belongings. It was introduced in 2010 as “Find My iPhone” and has since expanded to include other Apple devices like iPads, Macs, and AirPods, as well as non-Apple items through the introduction of the AirTag.
Find My operates by utilizing a combination of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular technologies to establish the location of a device.
When enabled, the device periodically broadcasts a secure Bluetooth signal that nearby Apple devices can detect.
This anonymous and encrypted signal is relayed back to the owner through Apple’s iCloud network, ensuring privacy and security.
Right now you can use find my app to check someone’s location on your iPhone, ipad, apple watch or Mac.
You can also use it to locate your device, and you can connect an airtag to it making it much easier to locate your items if you misplaced them or can’t remember where you kept your items.
AirTag is a small, coin-shaped device that can be attached to personal belongings like keys, wallets, or bags. It utilizes the Find My network, allowing users to track and locate their non-Apple items through the Find My app.
To use Find My app to check someone’s location, the person must be sharing their location with you.
Once the person is sharing location with you, all you have to do is to open the Find My app on your apple device.
Look below and you will see list of tabs or options, tap on the option that says People.
Right there you will see all the people sharing their location with you.
So all you have to do is to tap on any of the contact or person right there and it will display the person current location or last location.
Before using Find My app on your apple device, you should know key features;
- Internet is Required: When I say internet is required, this is applied to both parties involved. In order to view or check someone’s location on iphone, ipad or Mac or apple watch, you must have an active internet connection, and also the person you’re trying to check it’s location. Bear in mind that you cannot check someone’s current location if the person has no internet on his Apple device.
- Location sharing: The person must be sharing their location with you. If you try to check someone’s location on your iPhone or apple device and which the person isn’t sharing their location with you, it won’t work unless you use other means or methods.
- Location Services: For you to share or check someone’s location on iphone, ipad or any other apple device, you must enable location services on your device. It is very compulsory else nothing will work.
- Share My Feature: After you must have enabled location services, the next thing to do is to enable share my location on your iPhone and other apple devices.
- You Must Be blocked: Kindly note that in order to check someone’s location on iphone or on any other apple device, you must not be blocked by the person. If the person is sharing location with you and suddenly blocked your number, location sharing will stop immediately.
- Apple doesn’t send alert or notify you that someone checked it views your location on Find My app or iMessage location.
These are the key notes when using find my app and it is also applied to iMessage location sharing.
Please note that once you’re sharing location with someone on iMessage, you are definitely sharing your location with the person on find my or probably on your iPhone, iPad or any other apple device.
Can someone see if you screenshot their location on iphone?
The answer is no. Someone cannot know if you screenshot their location on iphone find my or iMessage location feature.
You can screenshot someone’s location on Find My app or iMessage location feature and the person will never find out unless you tell the person about it.
As someone will never know if someone checked their location, so as the person will never know if someone screenshot their location as well.
Apple don’t send alerts for this.
Can someone tell if i check their location on iphone imessage?
The answer is no. Someone will never know if you checked their location on iPhone iMessage simply because apple don’t send alert when you check someone’s location.
If you like, check someone’s location multiple times on iMessage map, the person will never know about it.
You can even screenshot it, the person will still not find out about it.
All this because apple don’t notify the person that you’re viewing or checked their location. This applies to both iMessage location and Find My app.
Lastly before I go, does apple tell you when someone checks your location? The answer is no. Apple don’t tell when someone checks your location except for when someone shared location with you, or stop sharing location with you.
So if you’re trying to understand how to check if someone checked your location, kindly know that it is not possible to know if someone checked your location.
