what is this ?

 

[Android Central Question]

hello

I have shared my location sharing on Google maps with someone.

On the top left screen, I noticed a head and shoulders with "2 sound waves or brackets " turning up from time to time , which I have found that is a location updating icon.

Does this mean the location sharing has been activated due to the other user checking on my location? OR does Google maps activate this from time to time without the user checking at all.

thanks
