## Stop location sharing

**delete** `/v3/chats/{chatId}/location`

End the location share a contact started with you, as though they had stopped it
themselves. Their device stops listing you as someone they share with, so they can
start a fresh share cleanly.

Use this to recover when a share has gone stale — coordinates that stop advancing, or
a share you believe has ended but is still reported as active. Without it the only
remedy is asking the contact to stop and re-share, which is confusing for them because
their phone still shows everything as working.

This is not reversible from the API. Sharing can only resume when the contact starts a
new share, so prompt them to re-share afterwards. Request a new one with
`POST /v3/chats/{chatId}/location/request`.

Apple keeps one location-sharing relationship per person rather than per chat, so this
ends that contact's share everywhere, not only in this chat.

`handle` names whose share to end, and is always required — a group chat can have several
people sharing, and this is not an operation to infer a target for.

**This returns `202`, not `200`.** The removal happens on the device that holds the
sharing relationship, so a success here means the request was accepted, not that
sharing has ended. Wait for the `location.sharing.stopped` webhook to confirm it —
that webhook is what tells you the contact's device has actually let go.

Returns `404` if the contact is not currently sharing.
