No. Sharing starts with mutual consent, and the app always shows who can see you.

Will it drain my battery?

Location updates rarely while your phone is still and more often when you move.

Can my child use it?

Yes, from age 13 with a teen account approved by a parent.

How do I delete my account?

From Profile in the app, or on the account deletion page.
