How does one do that exactly? (I usually use WhatsApp but like the idea of more options)

Try 360 app.
If you are often alone in an area with patchy coverage and need the best chance of connection it is worth getting one of the multi network eSIMs. There are now quite a few available
Honest mobile does one which operates as a backup data only which will work for location updates etc and is pretty cheap for a year. I have a backup SIM at the moment at the moment but when it runs out I'll be getting one of these

Smart SIM | Honest Mobile
Unlimited data for 500+ essential apps on EE, O2, Three and Vodafone, plus free global roaming.
Android has a personal safety app built in with a safety check feature (assume iPhone has something similar)
If I do solo days on the hills I set it up for an hour after expected home time and it buzzes you and if no response starts messaging your emergency contacts with a location
Once set up it's pretty easy to activate

I've have a Honest eSIM but frankly, although it has worked as advertised on occasion (notably whilst stalking remote Rannoch Moor in October), yesterday in the midst of Warminster Danger Area, it was not giving me much advantage. Initially, I contacted their help desk as I thought it had to be better than it was and indeed, there was an issue with the pre-loaded APN details, but its not as seamless or useful as they make out. I have had to resort to switching my primary data channel despite iOS supposedly doing this automatically.If you are often alone in an area with patchy coverage and need the best chance of connection it is worth getting one of the multi network eSIMs. There are now quite a few available

I do suspect that one of the issues is my normal service provider is EE and that's one of the bundled providers in their app. I'm constantly watching the 2 signal bars at the top right of my iPhone 17 Pro and when EE (top) is down to one bar or less yet I have more on the honest SIM, I'm still losing data connectivity. On balance, for £49 a year, I'm sticking with it but be aware, it might not work as you expect!
The below is a typical signal display:
Open google maps your phone.
Click on your profile in the top left corner.
Then "location sharing"
New share
Select time or "until I turn off"
Select person to send to
They accept
Job done
Loving all these different tools/ways to share I didn't know about. Thanks all
