Google Maps has launched today a new surprise function for the users of the application on iPhone si Android, company Google giving them something they didn't think could be offered, but which is very useful. In the image below you can see what it is about, the Google Maps application for iPhone and Android offering the option to add the battery status when we share our location with a certain person, the function not being requested until now.

Google Maps has implemented this change for users who frequently share their location with other people, they can tell themselves if they are going to run out of battery before they arrive at the location. For many, the option is very useful because Google Maps consumes a lot of battery power during use, and if the person runs out of battery and can no longer be contacted, the person waiting for them can panic since they don't know what's going on.

Google Maps will display information in real time about the battery level of our phones, as it also displays the location where we are at that moment, so many people will be much calmer thanks to it. Those from Google automatically implement the display of the battery status when we share the location through Google Maps, so there is not really a method to disable this functionality, although probably very few people would want to do this.

Google Maps is an extremely used navigation application, and I think I am not wrong when I say that it is the only one that offers such functionality for users all over the world at the moment. Google recently updated the Google Maps application for iPhone and Android, so the new function should be visible to all users from today, so if you try it, you should also have the battery status displayed for your friends.
