Top Questions on Glympse

Below are some general FAQs about the Glympse app. Click any question to see the answer.

Glympse is a location-sharing app that allows you to share your real-time location with people (or request their location) temporarily, regardless of their mobile device. Millions of people globally use Glympse for this reason: quick, temporary, and customized location-sharing. It visually answers “Where are you?” with a dynamic map that updates your location in real-time. 

With Glympse, you control who you share your location with, and you control for how long, so there is no risk of being permanently tracked. You can expire or modify your Glympse anytime, stopping location sharing when you want or choose. 

Expired Glympses remain visible for 48 hours before they are permanently deleted.  

To stop sharing your location, open the Glympse app, go to “Settings,” and turn off the “Stop sharing when I arrive.”

Glympse uses your mobile phone’s GPS capability to let you share or request location via a web-based map. When the person(s) click on the Glympse link they receive after you share your location with them, they can view your location in real-time, and see your real-time ETA on a web-based map for as long as you choose to share your location with them.

People use Glympse instead of calling or texting someone to say, “Where are you?” “When will you be home?“ “I’m running 15 minutes late for the meeting.” “Let me know when you get close, and I’ll meet you outside.” and so much more.
