iCloud Storage has nothing to do with location sharing. All of your data and personal information is kept private and nobody else can see it. However, if you enable Location Sharing in Family Sharing, and you allow the other family members to see your location, yes they can see your location if you are using the device on which you enabled location sharing.


For instance, my family uses location sharing, and if we have out phones with us, we can all see each other’s location since we have the feature enabled to work from out phones. If I don’t have my phone, but have my iPad on me, they can not see my location because it is not enabled on that device. You can only use device at a time for location sharing.


Take a look at this.
