If i were to switch to show the location of my ipad instead of my iphone, would people im sharing it with be notified that it had been switched? And would they still have a way to see the location of my phone?

If you stop sharing location on the iPhone, they will be notified, but they can’t track its location. If you share location on the iPad, they will be notified, but can track the iPad, and that is what they will see in the FindMy app until you stop sharing location on the iPad.


so they will see the iPad, not the iPhone 👍👍👍


sorry I’m slow! Ugh!
