Sharing live location from Android to iOS is most reliably achieved through Google Maps, but if notifications are failing, it is usually due to aggressive battery optimization on the Android side. For the best cross-platform experience without a subscription, ensure that "Unrestricted" battery usage is enabled for the app. Many users also find that WhatsApp's live location feature provides more immediate alerts for iPhone users compared to Maps.

Third-party tools often require background permissions that Android may revoke, so sticking to well-integrated apps like Maps or WhatsApp while white-listing them in system settings is usually the most stable, cost-free solution for real-time tracking between different operating systems.
