About this APK

Glympse Express is an app by Glympse in the Social category. It has no native code, so it runs on any Android processor.

Since version 1.01, the APK grew from 2.7 MB to 4.9 MB and the minimum Android version rose from 2.3 to 5.0. It asks for 13 permissions, 3 of them sensitive: precise location, read contacts and approximate location. Compared with version 1.01, it adds 3 new permissions (“Approximate location”, “Run foreground services” and “Show notifications”) and drops 2 (“Find accounts on the device” and “Send sms”).

What's new in v1.04

Updated to request notification permission so that the app can continue sharing location in the background on the latest versions of Android.

Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Ever wished that you could add the temporary location feature from Glympse to WhatsApp, Google Hangouts, or Facebook Messenger? Well now you can! Glympse Express enables you to quickly share a temporary link so others can see your location on a live map. Open Glympse Express and simply select the app in which you wish to share location. Glympse Express creates a link to your live map and opens the app you selected so you can paste it into the appropriate conversation. Share via WhatsApp, Google Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, Twitter, Line, Tango and more. Prefer to send via SMS or email message? Glympse Express has you covered there as well. Select a contact from your address book and Glympse Express creates a shortcut enabling you to send to that contact in the future with just a single tap. Recipients receive a link allowing them to view your location in real-time for the length of time you choose. When the timer on your Glympse expires, your location is no longer visible. Best of all, recipients do not need the Glympse app or any special software to view your live map. We LOVE TO HEAR FROM CUSTOMERS. If you have an issue or suggestion, please send us an email at [email protected].

Glympse Express APK: questions and answers

Is there a version of Glympse Express for older Android phones?

The current version needs Android 5.0 or later. Version 1.01 is the newest listed build that installs on Android 2.3 and later. It is an old build: apps that rely on online services may no longer connect when they are this old. Get version 1.01 · All versions

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Glympse Express APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. It is signed with the same certificate as the other version checked. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 2f8aa7142e79672ffc670f47b49b70c7.
