It has legitimate use cases for adults as well.

For those who leave their location on all the time (which is most
people, I think), it has the advantage that you initiate it and then
forget about it.

You initiate it to let someone know you have reached your destination
and choose what details they can see if you don’t successfully complete
your Check In. That's the intended purpose of the feature. It's not
complicated, Arlen.

But I think, based only on what I read in badgolferman's original
post, that it doesn't work all the time. It's a oneshot, it seems.

Is it a constant oneshot? Or is it set & forget?

If you want someone to see your location indefinitely or some times and
not others, there's an existing location sharing feature for that.
