Share your area, not your exact position
Exact and approximate are both first-class options in glancy - you choose precision per person, not all-or-nothing.
Shown here: exact sharing. You choose the precision for each person.
Most location apps force a binary choice: share your exact coordinates, or share nothing at all. glancy adds a middle ground - approximate location - so you can stay reachable and contextual without exposing your precise position.
Why precision should be a choice
Not every relationship needs the same level of detail. A close family member might get your exact location; a broader group might only need to know you’re nearby. glancy lets you set this per person, not as a single global switch.
How it works
- Choose exact or approximate location independently for each connection.
- Approximate location still updates live - it just rounds to a general area.
- Switch precision at any time without ending the share.

Frequently asked questions
How approximate is "approximate"?
Approximate location shows the general area you are in rather than a precise point, enough for context without exposing your exact address.
Can I use exact location for one person and approximate for another?
Yes. Precision is set per connection, so a parent and a coworker can see different levels of detail.
