Abstract
Methods and systems for sharing real-time location information are disclosed herein. A computing device with processor(s) and memory displays a chat interface of a social networking platform for a conversation between a first user and a second user associated with the computing device. The computing device receives a location-sharing request from the first user to join a real-time location sharing group and, in response, displays a location-sharing message. After detecting a first user input on the location-sharing message from the second user of the computing device, the computing device replaces the chat interface with a location interface of the social networking platform, the location interface including a map overlaid with a first indicator corresponding to a respective real-time location of the first user and a second indicator corresponding to a respective real-time location of the second user.
