To stop sharing your location without the other person knowing, you can use several discreet methods that prevent notifications but may show your location as unavailable or outdated if they check manually. Here are the main ways to do this on iPhone and Android:

On iPhone

• Turn on Airplane Mode: This disables all wireless connections, stopping live location sharing without sending notifications. The other person will see your last known location but not real-time updates

• Turn off Location Services: Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and toggle it off. This stops all apps from accessing your location silently, but your location will appear outdated or unavailable

• Disable “Share My Location” in Find My: Go to Settings > [Your Name] > Find My > Share My Location and toggle it off. No notification is sent, but if someone checks, they will see “No Location Found”

• Stop Sharing Location in iMessage: In the conversation with the person, tap their name and select “Stop Sharing My Location.” This prevents location sharing without alerting them immediately, though they may notice if they look

• Block the Contact: Blocking the person stops location sharing with them without sending a notification, but this may affect other communications

• Use a Third-Party App or Spoof Location: Apps like uMobix can spoof your location or hide it, but require installation and may not be feasible for everyone

On Android

• Turn on Airplane Mode: Like iPhone, this stops location sharing by disabling all connections without notification

• Stop Sharing Location in Google Maps: Open Google Maps > Profile > Location Sharing > select contact > Stop Sharing. This stops sharing silently, but the person may notice if they check

• Turn off Location History and Location Services: In Settings > Location, toggle off Location History and Location Services to stop tracking without alerts

• Check App Permissions: Restrict location access for specific apps to prevent unwanted sharing

• Disable Location Sharing in Google Pay and Other Apps: Turn off location permissions in individual apps to enhance privacy

Important Notes

• While these methods prevent notifications about stopping location sharing, the other person may eventually notice your location is no longer updating or is unavailable if they check manually.
• Airplane mode is best for temporary stops because it disables calls and internet.
• Disabling “Share My Location” or stopping sharing in apps is more permanent but can be noticed on manual checks.
• Using third-party apps to spoof location can add privacy but requires technical setup.

In summary, the most effective way to stop sharing your location without immediate notification is to turn on Airplane Mode or disable location services, but be aware that the other person can still detect that your location is no longer updating if they look
