Viewing a friend's trips

Last updated Wed, September 16th, 2026

A friend's profile lists the trips they have chosen to make visible to you. You can look, but you cannot change anything.

Where to find them

Friend profile with the Shared Trips list (web) Friend profile with Shared trips and Timeline (iPhone)

On the web, they are under Shared Trips on the friend's profile. On the phone, they are under Shared trips, and the profile also has a Timeline section.

What you can see

Open a shared trip and you see the route, the stops, the status and the visibility. It is read-only: nothing on the page can be edited, because it is your friend's trip, not yours.

Why some trips do not appear

You only see a trip if your friend set it to be visible to friends or to everyone. A friend picks that when they build the trip, and a private trip never shows here. For how that setting works and what each level shares, see the trip-creation article below.
