Facebook's 'Nearby Friends' Feature Lets You Share Your Location

JMH · Apr 18, 2014

Facebook is rolling out a new feature for its mobile app that allows you to share your approximate location with friends. The opt-in feature (it’s turned off by default) enables you to find and be found by nearby friends. The feature can be turned on or off at any time and both parties have to have the feature enabled. When you configure the feature you can select to share with all your friends or a sub-set like only family or only close friends.

Surprised that it is "opt-in" and even more surprised that the feature is configurable as to who it can be shared with.
