Wife's destination shows on my Android 11 Pixel 4a

[Chuckcell]

Just got one of those "How was destination such-and-such" queries on my Pixel 4a, but it was about a destination where my wife was meeting with her horse club. I was not there and she has an iPhone not an Android. Coincidence or is something else happening?

You both share Gmail accounts , she uses Google maps on the iPhone?

Thanks for moving it to the proper forum. I wasn't sure where the subject should fit cause my Pixel says it's on Android 11.

Goggle Maps, that would certainly explain it. I'll have to check

Ok let me know!

If you don't share the same Google account on your phones, then ask her if she might have looked up the directions in Google Maps on a shared computer that might have had your Google account logged in.

She says she is using Google Maps but I would have thought my "account" and hers would have been separate.

Somewhere you've logged both accounts into the same device concurrently or similar cross pollination event. On her device, check to see how many Google accounts show logged in.

Thanks, I'll ask. But since I don't use her phone, nor v v, how could that occur?

Only thing I can think of is that her Email is a subset(?) of mine.

You don't share a computer at home? If she hopped onto a computer you were using and used Google Maps on your browser (while you were still logged in), that's another way that it could show up on your account.

 

[Chuckcell]

Nope again - she's iPhone, iMac. I'm Android & Win 10.

Not sure if Google Maps Location Sharing could be a factor, rather a potential hypothesis.

I think that's not turned on in this phone.

 

[Chuckcell]

Nope, checked, not on.

Nope, checked, not on.

Wow, how strange that that happened. With two different platforms, no less! Could it be that you both went to the horse club together at some point; so your devices were "connected" at the same location at that point in time? Who knows sometimes - technology can be so peculiar!

Did both of you open Google Maps on your phones and go to Settings and Location Sharing, and see what it indicates?
