Glympse was a mobile app that allowed users to share their real-time location with others for a specified period of time. Unlike other location-sharing apps that require ongoing access to your location, Glympse sent temporary, one-time location updates. This meant you could share your ETA with someone without having to continuously share your location with them. Think of it as sending a "live" map link that expires after a set time.

Key features included :

*

Temporary location sharing:

You could choose how long you wanted to share your location for (e.g., 15 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour). After that time, the share expired, and your location was no longer visible.
*

Easy sharing:

Sharing was typically done through a simple link or SMS message.
*

Real-time tracking:

Recipients could see your location moving on a map in real-time.
*

ETA predictions:

The app often provided estimated times of arrival (ETAs).

Important Note:

Glympse, as a standalone app, is no longer available. The company was acquired and its technology has likely been integrated into other products or services. While the name might still pop up in some discussions, it[SQ]s no longer a functioning independent application.
