About Invitation Codes
The Invitation Codes for joining a group and adding someone as your Dearest look the same, but unlock different features. If you send an invitation code for someone to join a group, they will be added to your contacts and into the group of your choosing. You cannot view their location unless they voluntarily choose to share it with you. If you send an invitation code for someone to become your Dearest, they will be also be added to your contacts and into the group of your choosing. However, you can view their location at anytime and also have access to their Location Report and App Usage Report.
