Tech News Desk – WhatsApp keeps adding many useful features on the coming days, so that people can get better user experience. There is also one of these features which is often used, which is called location sharing. There are two types of location sharing on WhatsApp, which include ‘current location’ and live location. In Current Location, users can share their current location with individual contacts or groups. Whereas in ‘Live Location’ users can share their location continuously for a specified time frame. You do not need to be physically present at that location to share the current location. To share a location, simply open the chat window of the contact or group you want to share it with. Then select ‘Location’ from the attachment icon. Now tap on the search option at the top of the page. Then enter the name of the place in the search bar, and then tap Send to give access to the contact or group. When the receiver taps it, they are directed to Google Maps, where they can get directions to the location.
You can share your real-time location with your contacts with WhatsApp Live Location feature. Only contacts or groups with whom you have shared your live location will be able to see your live location in real time. In addition, the sender has control over the duration of their location sharing and can stop it at any time. WhatsApp does not officially allow location manipulation. However, you can download third party apps from Play Store or App Store to fake live location with contacts or groups on WhatsApp. The WhatsApp Live Location feature is end-to-end encrypted, hence reliable. Only people you’ve shared your live location with will be able to see it.
