I'm using an iPhone SE, iOS 11.3.1. Norwegian phone number and provider.

I have Share My Location turned on, most of the time. I use google maps quite a bit. Are there any third party apps or PC-programs that allow people to track or locate me geographically, if they only have my phone number? This is assuming they have not installed anything on my phone, I have not actively shared anything with them, added them as friends in any app, and I have not shared my iCloud credentials with them.

There are plenty of Youtube movies detailing how to do this, but most of them explain how to track numbers in India. I'm not sure if the same procedures can be used to track numbers/phones from other countries.

I'm not looking for manual on how to do this, I'd just like to know if it's possible for private individuals to track me.

Regards,

F.

Whatsapp has Live Location Sharing feature in the app. You both just have to have whatsapp installed on your phones.
Facebook has a similar feature too.
