Share Location

The Share Location feature periodically sends your location to your organization for the duration you choose. The location sharing interval is set in the BlackBerry AtHoc management system. You can manually increase or decrease the time your location sharing is active at any time. Location sharing stops if you disconnect from the current organization or switch to another organization.

Ensure that your device location services are enabled.

Note: If you are using an Apple iPhone running iOS 14 or later, turn the Precise Location setting on at Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > AtHoc.

If you are connected to multiple organizations, location sharing occurs in your primary organization. For more information, see Select a primary organization.
