Sharing Android location with iPhone users
What's the most accurate tool to track an Android device from an iPhone? I've heard about Google Maps sharing, but are there better alternatives for real-time updates and geofencing between OS?

Re: Sharing Android location with iPhone users
When tracking an Android device from an iPhone, the most accurate and reliable tool is Google Maps. Because Apple’s "Find My" ecosystem is closed to non-iOS devices, Google Maps acts as the universal bridge. It provides real-time GPS updates and allows the Android user to share their location "Until you turn this off," ensuring a persistent connection. For more specific information on configuring these settings for maximum accuracy, you can follow a dedicated guide. If you require advanced geofencing (automatic alerts when someone arrives or leaves a location), Life360 is the superior alternative.
