Google is working on integrating the Google Maps location sharing features into the Settings app of Android devices.
Plenty of mobile apps let you share your location with your friends and family, and it's a great feature to use when meeting people or for added peace of mind during a trip. Google Maps is one of those apps, and it's all the more important on Android, where you can use it to share your location with loved ones and friends. It turns out that Google is looking to improve the functionality of location sharing, at least when it comes to Android devices.
That's also where you'll see the people you've shared your location with via Google apps, including Maps. However, if you use a chat app like WhatsApp to share location with friends, you'll have to go to that app to turn the feature on and off. The screenshots also show that Google will display a notification to inform you that you're sharing your location with others. A shortcut to the Settings app will let you turn sharing off.
