Can a smart phone user set up a Twilio SMS number as a contact in their smart phone and share their location throughout the day with that SMS number? Iphone has a feature “Share My Location” that I believe allows the phone to communicate the phone user’s location through out the day. Is that information available to Twilio numbers and if so, can it be communicated to a zap, probably via a webhook? If so, how?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi
Good question.
The Apple iOS Share My Location service uses in-app notifications.

You can set up recurring location-based notifications. This lets you know if someone has arrived at or left a location, or isn't at a particular place during a specific time window.
Doesn’t appear to support sending to a Contact’s Phone Number.
Thank you Troy. I was hoping it could ping my phone during certain events to get me location but it doesn’t appear so. Thank you for looking into it.
