Google Maps Added A New Genius And Creepy Features To Its App by Seequadry(m): 4:32pm On Aug 03, 2018
The feature is something that seems inconsequential at first. It’s a battery level indicator that appears in the infobox that location sharing generates,


In most cases, that information is irrelevant because normally, you couldn’t care less about the battery percentage of the person you’re tracking. But say you use the app to track your kids or other family members. In that case, the indicator might come in handy.

Displaying your contact’s battery life is actually pretty brilliant. You become aware of the fact that the person you’re tracking might not be able to contact you because his or her battery just died, and you’d have an idea of where they were when the phone died. That way, you won’t worry about your kid or significant other not picking up the phone or texting you back. Well, you would, but you’d have all that extra information to tell you the reason why they’re not responding is the phone’s battery.
