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.

Thanks Troy. The iOS Shortcuts looks promising.
