when you stop sharing location does it notify the other person imessage

When you stop sharing your location in iMessage, the other person may or may not see something, depending on how you turn it off and which iOS version you are both using.

Quick Scoop

• If you tap “Stop Sharing My Location” directly in the iMessage conversation with someone, they typically see a small banner in the chat saying you stopped sharing, or that your location has expired (especially on iOS 17 and later).

• If you turn off Share My Location system‑wide in Settings or in the Find My app for everyone, they usually do not get a push-style alert, but when they check your location it shows “Location Not Available” or “Location Expired.”

• Older iOS versions (around iOS 16 and earlier) often did not send an obvious notification when you stopped sharing; people just noticed your dot disappeared in Find My or saw “Location Not Available.”

When It Does Notify

• Stopping sharing in the Messages thread (tap the person’s name → stop sharing) can create a visible line in both your conversation and theirs that you stopped sharing or that your location expired.

• Using Find My > People > [their name] > Stop Sharing My Location can also trigger a clear indicator that you’re no longer sharing, or at least make you disappear from their list of people they can see.

When It Usually Doesn’t “Alert” Them

• Turning off Share My Location in Settings for everyone at once generally does not pop up a special alert on their device, but your location simply stops updating and shows as unavailable if they check.

• Turning off Location Services entirely, using Airplane Mode, or using another device as your location makes your position vanish or freeze, without a specific “stopped sharing with you” popup; they just see that your location can’t be found or has expired.

Subtle Clues They Might Notice

• In recent versions like iOS 17, the status text “Location Expired” or “Location Not Available” inside the iMessage thread is a giveaway that sharing has effectively stopped, even if they didn’t get a loud notification.

• In Find My , your name may stay but your dot disappears or shows no current position, which lets them infer that you turned something off.

Bottom line for “when you stop sharing location does it notify the other person iMessage” :
Directly stopping in the chat or in Find My with that person often creates a visible notice, while more general methods (like disabling Share My Location or Location Services) usually avoid a direct alert but still make it obvious if they look.
