Using this, you can keep an eye on your belongings and save them from trouble. But don\u2019t you know that you should know about this feature in detail like me?<\/p>\n<p>When I found this feature on my mobile, I started using it. After some time, I realized that I had no privacy as my friends and siblings could track me all the time. So, I decided to understand this feature in detail and searched for \u201cDoes iMessage location show when you\u2019re active?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It helped me a lot in understanding the feature and its working. As you are here, it means you are also searching for the same answer. That\u2019s why I have written this guide to share the comprehensive answer to this question.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_iMessage_Location_Show_When_Youre_Active\"><\/span><strong>Does iMessage Location Show When You&#8217;re Active?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The quick answer is yes, iMessage will show your location when you are active. It means that the person with whom you have shared your location will be able to check where are you at a specific time.<\/p>\n<p>You can say that whenever you have an internet connection, the person will be able to track you. In simple words, it will be like a GPS location tracker that has been installed in your application instead of mobile.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_iMessage_Location_Mean\"><\/span><strong>What Does iMessage Location Mean?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is pretty simple to understand that sharing location means telling someone where are you at a specific time. The location feature in iMessage means that it will indicate the other person&#8217;s exact point according to their concerned map.<\/p>\n<p>It isn\u2019t possible for others to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/viewer?mid=1Dn05jKVkkFO-1pMcELzTKW1hPWU&amp;hl=en&amp;ll=30.399789%2C-87.776899&amp;z=17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check your location<\/a><\/strong> if they are not on iMessage. It is only possible for them to find where are you when they are on their application. Along with this, they have to find it using different apps like Find My App.<\/p>\n<p>Along with this, you must share your location with them at least once. If you don\u2019t share your location, they will never be able to find you. Also, you have to make some necessary changes to let them track you.<\/p>\n<p>If you have your sibling&#8217;s location and are unable to track them, it means they may have disconnected the internet. They may also have performed other changes in the settings that you can read here to learn\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/techforevers.com\/de\/how-do-you-know-if-someone-turned-off-their-location\/\">how to know if someone has turned off their location<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_iMessage_Turn_Location_Automatically\"><\/span><strong>Does iMessage Turn Location Automatically?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Like me, many people have this question in their mind does iMessage location show when you\u2019re active? Keep in mind that the iMessage location isn\u2019t a built-in activated feature. It means that you have to turn it on manually whenever you want to share your location with others.<\/p>\n<p>So, you can say that it is up to you whether you want to share your location or not. Undoubtedly, sharing your iMessage location isn\u2019t good for privacy. But it is extraordinary when it comes to saving your device or finding your lost device.<\/p>\n<p>Many people think of this location feature as a\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/techforevers.com\/de\/how-to-see-how-many-people-you-have-on-snapchat\/\">Snapchat location option<\/a><\/strong>. It is completely wrong as this feature only locates your position while Snapchat discloses other information for you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Should_I_Do_If_I_Dont_Want_to_Show_My_Location\"><\/span><strong>What Should I Do If I Don\u2019t Want to Show My Location?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, you share your location with your friends for the sake of saving yourself from trouble. I had done it too but then I found a big threat to my privacy. As I was unable to keep the internet connection off all the time, so, I searched a lot for the solution and found a reliable one.<\/p>\n<p>The simplest approach I found the most effective in this regard is turning off my iMessage location. Yes, you can turn it off whenever you want from your device\u2019s settings. It means whether someone has your location or not, they won\u2019t be able to track you after that.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t know how to do so, you should read the upcoming section. I have shared the exact steps here that I have followed to turn off my iMessage location.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Turn_off_iMessage_Locations\"><\/span><strong>How to Turn off iMessage Locations?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Undoubtedly, I don\u2019t recommend turning off your iMessage location.
