Android Basics: How to add contacts to Google’s Trusted Contacts

This morning Google introduced a new location sharing application called Trusted Contacts that allows you to share your exact GPS location to friends and family. Before you can share your location, though, you first have to go through the process of adding contacts to the application…

How to add contacts:

1. Open the Trusted Contacts application
2. If this is the first time setting up the application, Trusted Contacts will walk you through adding contacts
3. To set up new contacts, either tap on the Add contacts button found at the bottom of the home screen or open the menu by selecting the Menu button in the upper left-hand side of the screen and tap on the Add contacts option
4. Here you can search through the contacts on your device and select Add next to the individual to send them an invitation to be a trusted contact
