Google latitude not updating friends location

04-Feb-2020 11:22

I would also note that Google is saying that Latitude has 9 million users but we are not aware of how many of those 9 million users are active or use Latitude at least once a week.Even though Google Latitude is a location-based service many would like to compare it to other popular location-based applications such as Foursquare, Gowlla, Tri Out, Whrrl, Loopt and the list goes on.I've tested this feature out and can confirm the battery level is accurate—it's exactly the battery percentage on your friend's phone when their location was last updated.This just happens automatically, and there doesn't appear to be any way to turn it off when sharing your location.Please let me know if you experience background location updating issues with this version.As long as you have enabled automatic location detection in the Latitude privacy menu and have enabled location detection (Settings Use wireless networks), Latitude should update your location while your phone is on.

When checking a contact's location, there's now a battery icon right next to the distance.

So, you might want to think twice before you tell someone you didn't answer their call because your battery was almost dead.
