I know favourites is a great function for staying connected with buddy’s but there are some privacy concerns.
You cannot tell who has added you as favourite , so any random is able to monitor where you are and when you are online. Especially if you travel a lot for work, it is very evident that you are away from home (even with distance turned off) by your position in the favourites grid. Not ideal for privacy and safety.
I think having a setting to turn off favourites if desired would be safer. Then no one can just add you. Otherwise having visibility of who has favourited you, and perhaps an option to delete yourself from their list if you need to?
I suffered through domestic violence and I have had my ex message me telling me my location movements and the times I was online! Nutcase I know but this is a real issue. It’s a stalkers paradise without any controls. ✌️
