About this app

Ever wished that you could add the temporary location feature from Glympse to WhatsApp, Google Hangouts, or Facebook Messenger? Well now you can! Glympse Express enables you to quickly share a temporary link so others can see your location on a live map.

Open Glympse Express and simply select the app in which you wish to share location. Glympse Express creates a link to your live map and opens the app you selected so you can paste it into the appropriate conversation. Share via WhatsApp, Google Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, Twitter, Line, Tango and more.

Prefer to send via SMS or email message? Glympse Express has you covered there as well. Select a contact from your address book and Glympse Express creates a shortcut enabling you to send to that contact in the future with just a single tap.

Recipients receive a link allowing them to view your location in real-time for the length of time you choose. When the timer on your Glympse expires, your location is no longer visible. Best of all, recipients do not need the Glympse app or any special software to view your live map.

We LOVE TO HEAR FROM CUSTOMERS. If you have an issue or suggestion, please send us an email at support@glympse.com.

Glympse Express is a simple way to share your location to a contact or app.

The Express version is all I need, or want. Would be nice if it could communicate your location to non-smartphones somehow (texts?) and if the destination could be marked on the web-based map that recipients use to view your progress. I would also like the option to set a period longer than 4 hours. Really very well done though. Oh, a more intuitive function for canceling a Glympse would be nice. Not working with Hangouts currently.

Links not working. When you share your location, it just brings you to the website instead of sending you to the map of your location in real time. Update and fix for more stars. Used this for years and this hasn't happened. Update: Dec 2020- I think the devs have given up on this app seeing as it hasn't been updated since January 2019. Sent a Glympse to myself for 12 hours n checked it- shows where I was 3 hours ago. Fail.

My main usage was supposed to be for immediately sending an sms of my current location, unfortunately this doesn't seem to work using my default sms app (pulse sms). It's populating a contact number formatted as in the "to" field. The copy link function works fine. But needs more clicks, so defeats the purpose of having all those shortcuts.
