How to share location on iPhone with friends and family?

I'm getting a little anxious about being late for my friend's birthday party tonight and I want to make sure they know exactly where I am. I have an iPhone, but I've never shared my location with anyone before. Can someone please walk me through the steps on how to share my location with friends and family? I've tried searching online, but all I can find are complicated tutorials about setting up a watch or using third-party apps. I just need something simple and easy to follow. Help!

To manage multiple locations on your iPhone, navigate to Settings – General – Contacts – Locations and toggle on Show My Location. This will enable your iPhone to share its current location with you. If you want to set specific locations for individuals, create a new contact from the Contacts app and tap the “Edit” button. Add the person's name, phone number, and email address, then select their image or upload one. Tap “Add Location” and enter the location you want to associate with that individual. Once set up, you can view all your associated locations in a map view from the Locations tab within Contacts. You can also share your current location with others by going to the Share button and selecting “Share My Location.'
