Android enhances system with new Google Maps location tool

Google continues to surprise Android users with further improvements. This time, the company has decided to expand a popular feature from Google Maps—the ability to share your location—on a broader scale. The new tool, launching as part of Google Play Services, will enable users to safely and easily share their location not only with loved ones but also with apps that require it.

For years, Android has focused on proven features that gained popularity in other Google services. One of the best examples is Google Maps, which enables location sharing and tracking the whereabouts of other users. This solution is valued for its convenience and security, especially when travelling.

Now, Google has decided to take it a step further by introducing these features on a larger scale, directly into the Android system. This means users will be able to use location sharing in a more comprehensive way, no matter which application they are using.

Google is preparing to introduce a new tool within Google Play Services, which will be available on all devices with the Android system. The new feature, previously known from the Google Maps app, will enable location sharing with friends and apps that require access to location data. This solution will simplify sharing your location and make it easier to use services based on geolocation data.

Interestingly, Google plans to integrate this feature directly into the system, allowing for better control over privacy and data security. This tool is expected to be implemented in the coming weeks, and Android users can expect a notification about the new feature on their devices.
