You can share your location on pretty much all of the major social networking apps out there these days, like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, and more. However, that doesn’t mean you should always do it, especially if your profiles are public and you have a lot of friends or followers who you might consider complete strangers.

Location sharing is still a fun way to tell your closest friends or family what you’re up to, and there are apps you can use to do that specifically without exposing your exact location to everyone on the open internet. These apps also give you flexible control over your privacy settings, so you can customize exactly what you share and with whom.

Ready to share your next destination? Download one of the following apps to get started and invite your friends and family to join the app!

In 2010, Foursquare was the ultimate location-sharing app. It was fun and trendy for a while, but a lot has changed since then. The original Foursquare app is still available, but its primary purpose is to discover places around you.
