Features / Live family map

The whole family, one glowing map.

Everyone who’s sharing appears in real time — with their name, battery level, and when they last updated. Tap a name, and the map flies to them.

Under a second

When someone moves, their dot moves — location updates travel from their phone to your map in well under a second. No refresh button, no stale positions.

Battery at a glance

Every chip shows the phone’s battery next to the name — and when someone dropsbelow 15%, the circle gets a gentle heads-up before their dot goes dark.

Pauses are honest

When someone turns sharing off, their dot leaves within seconds and the circle sees a friendly “Paused sharing” label — never a fake offline state. Sharing comes back only when they flip their own switch.

On every plan — the live map is the heart of FamilySeen

How often does the map update?
Continuously while someone is sharing — changes land in under a second. The apps keep sharing in the background; the web version updates while the tab is open.
Can I see someone who paused sharing?
No — and that’s by design. Pausing means their position isn’t collected at all. What you see is an honest “Paused sharing” label, and a pingis the friendly way to say “thinking of you”.
