Glympse Private Groups
Glympse Private Groups let trusted people stay connected on a shared, real-time map in a secure, invite-only space. Group members can share or request location updates, making it perfect for families, carpools, teams, or trips. Everyone actively sharing is visible to the group, so staying in sync is simple.

How it works
Invite-Only Access
The group is private and not accessible to others unless they’re signed into Glympse and have received an invite from an existing member. This ensures that only trusted participants can join and view shared locations. It’s a secure way to coordinate without worrying about unwanted access.
Location Sharing
Share your location with the group and request to see where other members are. It’s all about keeping everyone in the loop without compromising privacy. You stay in control—location sharing is always temporary and can be stopped at any time. Whether you're planning meetups or managing daily routines, it’s a simple way to stay connected.
Perfect for Various Groups
Whether you're coordinating a family outing, managing a carpool, organizing a sports team, or just keeping up with friends, Glympse Private Groups make it easy and secure. Everyone in the group can see who’s on the way, who’s running late, and where people are—without the need for constant texts or calls. It’s real-time coordination made simple.
