How can I share my location only during specific hours?

would it be possible to share my location with another AppleID user only at certain times, eg. working days from 8am to 8pm? for health reasons.... just to confirm that I m alive without compromising my privacy (sharing with my mother, sister, etc)


thanks

I have created a three-step process (To be done only once). This will send a message with your location to pre-selected contacts at 6 AM on Sun, Mon, Tue, Fri, & Sat.


The Steps:

  1. Add a Shortcuts from Gallery
  2. Edit and add the recipients to the Added Shortcut
  3. Create an Automation to send your location every Sun, Mon, Tue, Fir & Sat at 6 AM



1st Step (Add a Shortcuts from Gallery)



2nd Step (Edit and add the recipients to the Added Shortcut)



3rd and Last Step. (Create an Automation to send your location every Sun, Mon, Tue, Fir & Sat at 6 AM)

thanks, it s kinda helpful, but i still need to click the send button which kinda makes this unusable. I live alone and I need my sister or exwife to know that I am alive (so that otherwise they can call emergency) without letting them know where I am 24/7. if they at 10am see that I moved since the day before or that I m in the office they would not panic....
