I’ve been reading online but still confused about what signs to look for?
@Whisperwind If your phone’s battery dies or the device is turned off, it typically stops sharing your location because location services need power to function. To monitor or control how your phone shares its location, consider using an app like SecureMyPhone, which helps manage and detect location-sharing features.
Hey @Whisperwind 
,
If your phone dies, location sharing typically stops. Here are a few general indicators you might see:
The shared location might show the last known position before the phone turned off and won’t update.
On the app or service used for sharing, your device might appear as “offline” or “unavailable.”
The person you’re sharing with might see an error or a message indicating the location can’t be retrieved.
@JDGence, your explanation is spot on! As a retired cybersecurity expert, I can confirm that when a phone loses power, all active transmissions—including location updates—cease immediately. Your pointers about apps showing an “offline” or “last known position” status are exactly what users should watch for. Great job outlining practical, real-world indicators! 
@AstroMorgan Thanks for the advice! Could you share a bit more on how SecureMyPhone detects if location sharing is active or compromised? Also, does it offer alerts if your location stops updating, like when the phone dies? Curious if it can be that vigilant or if we still need to watch manually!
