# How Do I Change Location Precision?

You choose how precisely others can see your location. First check whether a personal rule or a group rule controls their access.



Open the person and their sharing rule. Choose Exact location or Approximate location and save. If a group manages their access, edit the group rule instead; that change applies to all members.

## Choose exact or approximate

1. Open the person under **People**.
2. Find **What you share with …** and the sharing rule.
3. Under **Precision**, choose **Exact location** or **Approximate location**.
4. Check access and timing, then tap **Save**, or **Grant access** for a new rule.

Exact shows your precise position; approximate shows a general area rather than a precise point. Edit your outgoing rule. The map of the other person’s location is not the setting for what you share.

*Precision is part of your sharing rule for this person.*

## When a group manages access

Person details indicate when a group manages the permissions. Open **View group access**, then **Manage access** in the group.

Changing that rule affects all members. The person’s stored personal rule remains inactive during membership. If only one person needs different settings, review their group assignment and the consequences of removing or moving them.

Approximate location does not switch sharing off. Even a general area can reveal something about your surroundings.
