Location sharing

+ +

Location sharing in Google Maps is implemented in Google Play services. It + requires enabling both the Location permission with "Allow all the time" and the + Physical activity permission for Google Play services. Our location rerouting + feature reimplementing the Google Play location service using the OS location + service does not apply to Google Play services itself, so Google Play services + won't use the OS network location service. You can use the instructions above + for enabling network location via Google Play if you want this. You could + continue using rerouting for other apps or disable it to avoid needing 2 + separate network location services enabled.
