I am logged in to my wife's Google account on my phone so I can see her calendar. But location sharing shows my phone's location as hers. She is logged in to her Google account on her Android phone. We both have S24+ phones. How do I fix this without having to remove her account from my phone?

It's far too drastic for you to log in with her account just to see her calendar. Instead, have her share her Google Calendar with you, and you'll be able to access it in your own Google Calendar account. I do this with my wife and daughter. You can easily toggle them on or off in the display.

I think I figured it out. I went to settings on the Google Calendar app on my phone. Her calendar was not visible. I touched the "Show more" link and her calendar became visible. I touched her calendar link and turned on Sync and voila, her events appeared. I think this would have been easier if there was an icon to indicate that there is more to show because it isn't obvious. (Or I am just a little dense in this area.:))

I can absolutely see shared calendars on my Google Calendar app on my Pixel 7 Pro. I tap the 3-line menu button at the upper left, tap Show More under my calendars, and they're there. If you don't see it, then in that menu, scroll down to Settings, then Show More under your own Google account. Do you see the shared calendar there? If so, select it, and then make sure the Sync toggle is turned on.

Or are you using some other calendar app besides the Google Calendar app?
