    There’s a million apps out there which you can install to let you see your partner’s location if you really need realtime telemetry to help salve your anxiety - why can’t you use one of those, instead of introducing a huge privacy flaw into a totally unrelated messaging service?

    Seriously this is about a messaging app being aligned to the FSB, and you’re arguing that letting it know your partner’s location while they’re particularly vulnerable is somehow a desirable feature??

      No, I’m not talking about Telegram, just location sharing as a general feature. And if you already have a chat app you share your secrets on, why wouldn’t you also trust it with your location. Sounds better than introducing yet another company’s app to sniff on you.
