Location requests — Ask every time

Decide each time someone asks where you are — share just once, or not at all.

Back to user help index

A contact can ask for your location. With Ask every time, Tetracom does not share automatically — it shows you a prompt, and nothing is sent unless you tap Share once for that specific request. It is the careful counterpart to leaving location sharing always on for someone.

Two different things. Always sharing with a contact (turning on Share my location with this person) sends your location along with your messages automatically. Ask every time is the opposite: each request waits for your decision. This page is about the second one.

When someone asks for your location

When a contact requests your location, a prompt appears telling you who is asking. You have two choices:

Share once

Tapping Share once captures your location right then and sends it back to the person who asked — and only them. It answers their request specifically. It does not turn on any ongoing sharing: the next time they ask, you will be asked again.

Deny

Tapping Deny sends no location at all. The person simply does not receive a position. You never have to explain — declining is always your right.

Privacy

Want to share your location with someone routinely instead of being asked each time? Turn on Share my location with this person on that contact’s screen — see Location & the map.
