WhereAreYou App: Find via Link

Ask someone where they are. They tap a link and approve. You see them on the map. 100% free for approximate location — upgrade to unlock exact location. WhereAreYou is a location request app. It answers one question — where is the person I am trying to find, right now? — without either of you setting up an account. You send a location request as a link, through any messaging app you already use. The person you are looking for taps the link, sees who is asking, and approves the request. Their GPS location appears on your map seconds later. They install nothing. They register for nothing. Neither do you. It only ever works with their agreement. They can decline, or simply ignore the link, and you see nothing. HOW A LOCATION REQUEST WORKS 1. Enter the name of the person you want to locate. 2. Send the request link in your messenger of choice. 3. They tap the link and approve the request on their own screen. 4. Their location appears on your map, in map or satellite view. WHEN PEOPLE USE IT • Finding a friend in a crowd, at a festival or in an airport • Checking on a family member who should have arrived by now • Working out where someone is before you set off to meet them • Finding your group on a hike, at a market or on a night out • Asking an elderly parent where they are, without setting up an app or an account for them • Asking "where are you?" and getting a map back instead of a description FEATURES • Locate friends and family with a single link • Works with SMS, email, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, LINE or any app that can send a link • No app install needed for the person you are locating • No registration, no sign-up and no password, on either side • Live GPS location on a clean, simple map • Satellite view and standard map view • Location history of every request that was approved • Push notification the moment they share their location with you • Reuse a recent name with one tap, or type a new one — no contacts access needed • See at a glance who has responded and who has not opened the link yet CONSENT, EVERY SINGLE TIME Every location request is sent and approved separately. Approving one request does not give you standing access to anyone. There is no always-on tracking and no background monitoring: nothing reaches you unless the other person agrees to it on their own device, that time. If they ignore the link, you see nothing at all. This app is built on permission rather than surveillance, which makes it a poor choice for anyone hoping to follow another person secretly. PRIVACY An approved location is used for the request it was approved for. You do not need an account and we never ask you to create one. The person you are locating always sees who is asking before they decide. QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK Does the other person need to install the app? No. They open the link in their phone browser and approve from there. Does it work if they use an iPhone? Yes. Anyone with a phone browser can answer a request, on iPhone or Android. Which messaging apps work? Any app that can send a link, including SMS and email. Can I locate someone without them knowing? No. Every request has to be approved on their device, every single time. Do I have to sign up? No. There is no registration and no password. What happens if they say no? Nothing is shared, and no location is shown to you. Is there a location history? Yes. Every location that was approved and sent to you stays in your History tab. FREE AND PRO Core features are free to use. Pro is an optional yearly subscription for people who ask often, unlocking exact (rather than approximate) location. Stop typing "where are you?" Send a link, and see them on the map.
