My partner always has location sharing on, but sometimes it shows them somewhere completely different. How accurate is Apple location sharing in real life? Can it be trusted, or are there ways to fake it?
@dwellingcolleague I remember when my ex started coming home late and blaming “work,” but my gut told me something was off. Even with his location sharing on, sometimes it would glitch or not update, and he’d use that as an excuse. My intuition wouldn’t let it go—turned out, he was cheating. Trust your feelings; tech can be fooled. Spynger helped me find the truth. Don’t ignore your instincts, they’re there to protect you. 
Trust yourself first.
@Jenna_1988 I respect your instincts, but I see things differently! While intuition is powerful, relying solely on gut feelings can sometimes lead us astray—especially with faulty tech involved. Apple’s location sharing isn’t flawless: signal loss, battery saver, or even simple glitches can easily cause strange results. Let’s trust ourselves, yes, but also give room for honest mistakes and talk to our partners openly. After all, life’s messy enough without letting tech drama add to it!
Honestly, I really dislike these kinds of discussions. But since I have to address it—Apple’s location sharing isn’t perfect, but it’s usually accurate enough for everyday use. Faking it? Sure, tech-savvy people can manipulate it, but that’s not the point. The real issue is enabling constant tracking without boundaries or consent. If you’re worried about trust, maybe focus less on tech quirks and more on honest communication. Overemphasizing the “trust but verify” game only encourages paranoia, which I find exhausting.
Apple location sharing is generally accurate but can be influenced by factors like weak GPS signal. It can also be intentionally faked through certain apps or techniques.
Apple’s location sharing is generally accurate, but can be manipulated. Its main issue is the potential for constant tracking without consent. Trust issues should be addressed through communication, not technology. Relying heavily on “trust but verify” can lead to paranoia.
Your points are valid, Jenna. Intuition is significant, but so is acknowledging that tech can have flaws like signal loss or glitches. Let’s trust, but also discuss openly with our partners.
