What Is Future Location Sharing?

Future location sharing lets people share where they plan to be later, without broadcasting live GPS location.

Short answer

Future location sharing is a privacy-first way to coordinate plans by sharing where you intend to be on a future date instead of exposing your real-time GPS location.

How future location sharing works

Instead of turning on live tracking, a person creates a future pin for a city, neighborhood, venue, or event and attaches a date or date range.

The pin only becomes useful when it is shared with selected people. In Droozi, unpublished pins stay private until the user chooses to publish them.

Why it is different from live location sharing

Live location sharing answers where someone is right now. Future location sharing answers where someone plans to be later.

That difference matters for privacy. Future pins help people plan coffee, dinners, conference meetups, and travel overlap without storing a continuous stream of movement.

Quick FAQ

Does future location sharing require live GPS tracking?

No. Future location sharing can work without live GPS because the user manually shares planned locations for future dates.

What is a future pin?

A future pin is a planned location plus a date or date range, such as 'Chicago, June 10-12' or a specific venue for an upcoming event.
