Mobile social networks have attained remarkable developments in the recent years. The rapid evolution of mobile technology provides a great opportunity for mobile social networks to share experiences, interests, opinions and personal information. Such platform can provide a variety of features for users to share data with others. Further, it can search the users with similar interests to establish and maintain communication. The user community of mobile social network started exploiting this platform. However, the success significantly depends on trusted members as well as service providers. Always there is a demand for sharing the user locations in the network of social activities which is specifically in hand held devices like smart phones. In fact, it is a major privacy concern. We first reviewed the existing trust model which is relevant to mobile social networks. Various location-based services were reviewed. Finally, the literatures are compared and areas for future work are identified.
