Temporary Group Location Sharing: Meet Up, Share Up, Ghost It

Temporary group location sharing with zero permanent contacts required. Join via QR code or a single link, stay connected while you’re together, and say goodbye to “where are you?” texts once everyone’s on the map.

What's Included in

iSharing Meetup

Instant QR & Link Invites

Join any group session in seconds without adding participants to your permanent contact list. Just tap a link or scan a QR code to land on the live map, no phone number or friend request required.

Built-In Irish Exit

Once your Meetup’s time window closes, all location data deletes automatically. No permanent records, no lingering location trail.

Custom Time Windows & Scheduling

Set the exact start and end time for your event (1 minute to 30 days), from a quick 15-minute pickup to a multi-day trip. Schedule it in advance so tracking starts automatically when your event begins.

Host Approval & Custom Group 
Controls

Control exactly who can see your location and when with custom permissions. Whether you want to share with the whole family or just one person, iSharing puts you in full control of your location tracking.

Why Groups Love

iSharing Meetup

No-shows don't hold up the run

J. Mar**

“Someone always sleeps in. We used to sit around waiting and blowing up the group chat asking where they were. Now we just start: whoever’s up shows up on the map, and we don’t wait around for the ones who slept in.”

No more "where are you?" in the parent group chat

R. Oka**

“I help coordinate a youth soccer league and didn’t want to add every parent as a permanent contact just to track carpools on game day. Meetup let us share location for that one afternoon and nothing more.”

We all had different plans, same trip

A. Now**

“Four of us backpacked through Europe for two weeks, but we never had the same schedule: some slept in, some went off to a museum alone. We just kept one Meetup running the whole trip, so whoever wanted to find the group could, without texting everyone every hour.”

Set it up once and forget it

K. O’B**

“I scheduled our weekly trail run a few days ahead so I didn’t have to set it up right before we started. Everyone just joined with the link when it was time.”

Perfect For

Every Scenario

Youth Sports Leagues

Coaches and parents can see that every kid made it to practice or the game, even as new families join when the roster changes every season

School Pickup & Daily Carpool Groups

Turn sharing on the moment the driver leaves and off the moment pickup’s done, live for the hour that matters and gone right after, no matter who’s driving that day

Running Crews & Hiking Groups

Fast group up ahead, slow group behind: see exactly where everyone actually is on the trail in real time, instead of guessing who’s still coming

Group Trips

Keep one Meetup running for the whole trip, days at a time, so the group can split up and find each other again whenever, wherever

Corporate Workshops & Off-Sites

Keep teams aligned during company workshops, off-sites, or group travel, without mixing a work event with anyone’s personal contact list

Frequently Asked

Questions About Meetup

Q.How does iSharing Meetup differ from regular location tracking?

Regular location tracking (Circle) is designed for long-term sharing with close family or friends. Meetup is a session-based feature for temporary gatherings: you check on people outside your immediate circle without adding anyone as a permanent contact, and all session data auto-deletes when it’s finished.

Q.Do participants need to exchange phone numbers or be friends on iSharing?

Nope. Participants only need to tap the invite link or scan the QR code to join a specific Meetup room. No phone number, contact exchange, or permanent friendship is required.

Q.What happens when the Meetup duration expires?

Location tracking stops immediately. The session room closes, and all location data and history are deleted, in line with our data minimization principles.

Q. How is Meetup different from WhatsApp Live Location or Apple Find My?

Both of those rely on a saved contact or phone number to share location, which stays reusable after the fact. Meetup never stores a phone number or contact. It works across both iOS and Android, supports up to 30 people with optional host approval, and lets you schedule sessions in advance with custom titles and notes.
