If someone has managed to request your current location on Google Maps, it means that they either got lucky and guessed your Gmail address or found it through one of your social media profiles. Regardless of how it happened, it’s important to take a proactive approach and review all the places online where you might have shared your Google email address or the phone number associated with Google Maps. Consider removing these details from public view or, if possible, use a different email address and phone number to avoid sharing your contact information.
Additionally, if feasible, adjust your account settings so that only people you approve can view your accounts and personal information. This way, you have better control over who can request your location on Google Maps.
Remember, only individuals who have chosen to share their location with you should be able to request your location in return. If you receive an email notification asking for access to your whereabouts, it’s likely that you have also received a notification informing you that the person has shared their own location with you. In order to confirm the authenticity of the request, the person will need to provide you with their email address and profile photo. While it’s true that these two pieces of information can be faked, you can always reach out to your friends and family to verify if the accounts truly belong to them and are not impersonations.
