Hey everyone! I recently set up Family Sharing on my iPhone with my husband and son, mainly so we can keep track of each other's locations. However, I'm curious about privacy—will they have access to my private stuff? If so, how can I make sure they only see our locations and nothing else?

You actually don't have to share your location if you don't want to! As long as everyone has their own Apple IDs and doesn't share passwords, your personal info stays private. Just enable location sharing for your son if that's what you want!
Family Sharing is mainly for sharing purchases like apps and subscriptions. Sharing your location is optional and doesn't let them into your Apple account or personal data unless you choose to share it. So you're good on privacy!
And you don't even need Family Sharing if you just want to share your location, which is a nice perk!
Perfect!!! That's exactly what I needed to know!
Thanks a lot! We definitely want to share location with our teen son.
