Description

Planning a surprise or keeping a trip quiet? iOS 27 brings two new ways to hide your location on iPhone, one in Find My and one in Messages, and neither sends a notification to anyone. I’ll show you how to switch off location sharing completely or just until tomorrow, and how to hide it from one person, who’ll simply see Location Not Found.
