Glympse partners with Samsung's ChatON to provide simple location sharing

Precise, time-limited location sharing in the app you already know

Working to expand its reach, Glympse today announced it will be partnering with Samsung to offer location sharing in the ChatON messaging service. Glympse, which is best known for its stand-alone location sharing service and app, has been making several partnerships as of late to offer a better location sharing experience to millions of people. The latest will bring precise location sharing to nearly 180 million people in 200 countries who currently use ChatON.

ChatON users can now share their location with friends with the familiar interface of the chat app, but with the added features of Glympse. Simply share your background location as you move with a specific person or people — everyone currently sharing with Glympse will show up on a map together. Better yet, you can even put a time limit on how long they can see where you're at.

Glympse integration with ChatON will be coming to the app on Android but also across multiple platforms, including iOS and BlackBerry, starting today.
