Privacy respecting location sharing?(find my friends) (infosec.pub)

My family currently uses life360(iOS and android). But I hate their privacy policy. I'm looking for an alternative. The thing that's difficult is I can't find one that's opt in to each other. Like my parents are split so they dont want to share with each other but the rest of us do. Prefer selfhosted but anything is better that where we are at. Thanks!!

Nextcloud and Phonetrack maybe? https://github.com/julien-nc/phonetrack

I wish this had the feature set I was looking for. Either like life360 where I have circles and we have group location shares. Or like findmyfriends where its per person based. The per person one seems like it would be possible with a little bit of MQTT or something.

I use this and you can preemptively create some groups you can share your location to, then turn those on. If this works for you.
