TL;DR<\/p>\n
Once again, we\u2019re putting Google\u2019s latest version 3.1.399-3 release of the Find Hub under the microscope. We just looked at how the app was working to make it easier to make sure your friends are sharing their locations back with you<\/a>, but even once they do, you\u2019d still have to keep pulling the app to check on where they\u2019re at.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n Right now, when you look at the options available to you for someone who\u2019s sharing their live location, you can refresh that data, hide them from your map, or block them altogether.<\/p>\n While it\u2019s not yet visible in the app, the Find Hub now appears to be working on an additional option for creating a convenient home screen shortcut. Once you set that up, you\u2019ll be able to easily jump right in to the Find Hub and pull up your friend or family member\u2019s location quicker than ever.<\/p>\n We can\u2019t imagine most users will clog up their home screens with too many of these widget shortcuts, but the idea feels like a perfect fit for a few that matter most to you: your BFF, partner, or child.<\/p>\n Admittedly, Google Maps already supports pretty much exactly this same shortcut for users who have shared their location with you, but seeing the Find Hub also picking up that functionality makes all the sense in the world to us \u2014 this is a hub, after all, and we\u2019d love to be able to have everything under the \u201cfinding\u201d banner all in one place.<\/p>\n \u26a0\ufe0f<\/strong> An APK teardown<\/strong> helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.<\/p>\n
