Google Maps is an incredibly handy service that frequently receives updates from the tech giant.
Although Google typically makes an announcement when a huge new feature is released, there are a variety of subtle tweaks added that radically change the experience of using the software.
Google Maps allows users to share their locations with friends and family, this allows for meetups to be made incredibly easy thanks to the correct tracking systems in place.
But now it seems when you share location, the person you're sharing it with will also be able to see the battery life of the device you did it from. Android Police first noticed the new feature and explained the new feature will show the percentage of battery life in addition to "charging status".
The publication declared it tested the feature and it was incredibly correct.
Google Maps' latest update will surely be incredibly helpful for those wondering why someone may not be responding to calls for text messages. Similarly, it could also be a good way to check whether someone is telling the truth if he or she claims they didn't get back to you because he or she ran out of power.
When you share your location with another user on Google maps, they're able to easily get directions to the location specified. It was rumoured such a feature could make its way to Google Maps after Android Police conducted an in-depth dive into the app's v9.71 beta that launched back in February.
The publication admitted it initially believed the feature would provide users with an estimate of battery life, but it appears the fully-released version is more precise. Last week Google Maps added a new feature to deal with user food cravings.
