Can Friends See Your Location on Pokémon GO?

Last updated
Ever wondered while playing Pokémon GO, ‘Can my friends see where I am?’ You’re not alone in pondering this question, especially when you’re out and about, trying to catch ’em all. Let’s dive into this query and clear up any confusion.
So, to put it simply, do your buddies know your exact spot when you’re on a Pokémon-catching spree? Let’s find out.
Short Answer: No, They Can’t
In Pokémon GO, your friends do not have the ability to see your exact location. The game is designed with player safety and privacy in mind. Therefore, it does not share your real-time location with anyone, including your friends.
What the game does offer is a way to share your adventures with friends without compromising your location. For instance, when you catch a new Pokémon or triumph in battles, you can share those achievements. But, the game keeps your whereabouts under wraps.
