My family currently uses life360(iOS and android). But I hate their privacy policy. I'm looking for an alternative. The thing that's difficult is I can't find one that's opt in to each other. Like my parents are split so they dont want to share with each other but the rest of us do. Prefer selfhosted but anything is better that where we are at. Thanks!!

What about locus maps? I did not look into the location sharing but there are many options according to https://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:functions:share. It is a paid App but it is really great. I use it all the time for hiking.

Edit: There is also owntracks (https://owntracks.org/) which loggs your location history. The Website can than be shared with whom you like.
