WhatsApp users can finally share their movements in real-time in WhatsApp applications. Dubbed Live Location, this new feature lets users track contacts for 30 minutes, an hour or eight hours at a time.
Previously, WhatsApp allowed users to share their location on the map regularly. Now, users can choose Live Locations so friends can see their location on the map, which automatically updates as they move.
WhatsApp says its new feature is a simple and safe way to let people know where you are. The end-to-end location is encrypted - like messages, photos, videos and files you send in WhatsApp, which should remove some users' fears about this feature.
You can also choose to end location sharing before the end of the specified time period. WhatsApp imagines Live Location used by people trying to meet with friends, letting loved ones know they are safe or sharing trips.
To start starting your location, open WhatsApp conversations with the people or groups you want to share with. Under Location on the install button, there's a new option for Direct Location Sharing.
WhatsApp will then ask you to choose how long you want to share your GPS data. Once you've decided, just hit the Send button. Everyone in your preferred chats can now see your real-time location on the map.
If more than one person shares their Live Locations in the group, all locations will be visible on the same map. Live Locations available on Android and iPhone and will roll out in the app in the coming weeks.
