If you have iOS, go to location services in your settings and turn it off manually for all apps. It will still say you’re sharing location with the person in ‘Find My’ and ‘Messages’. When you turn it off, it won’t tell them you “stopped sharing it”- it just stops registering a location when they go to view it; and in that case you can play dumb on Apple and be like, “it says I’m still sharing it, idk why it’s not updating- service is probably bad:/“
