I hope you have heard about the recent update made by WhatsApp which is called WhatsApp Live Location?.
You can't hide anymore, WhatsApp knows your location and there is a new feature called WhatsApp Live Location which allows you share your location with your friends and groups while chatting with them.
It's good to know that location Sharing is not a new feature in mobile apps because apps like Google Maps, Facebook Messenger, and Snapchat all uses it. It is a great way to let people know where you are, for instance, if you have travelled to a country or city that you are not familiar with. So how do you use this new feature? Well, before that, take this important message.
HOW TO GET WHATSAPP LIVE LOCATION FEATURES
Note that this feature has just being announced and could take few days before reaching everywhere. All you need to do now is to keep tabs on the latest Whatsapp update via playstore for Android users and iTunes for iOS users. Once there is a new update, just click on "update" to get it.
Once the WhatsApp live location (location sharing) is available on the app, follow below steps to use it;
- Open a chat with the person you want to share with
- Under “Location” in the attach button, there’s a new option to “Share Live Location.”
- Choose for how long you want to share and tap send.
Wow! By doing this, you have just sent your real-time location on a map to the recipient. Think of it working the same way your Uber driver is able to locate you (and vice-versa). WhatsApp is launching a new feature that will let contacts track one another in real time.
The messaging app has announced its live location tracking feature, which will allow users to share their movements if they're trying to find their friends or let them know they're safe.
The feature, which WhatsApp said is encrypted, asks users to set a time limit on how long their location is shared and lets them stop doing so at any time.
"Whether you're meeting friends, letting loved ones know you're safe, or sharing your commute, live location is a simple and secure way to let people know where you are," said WhatsApp.
Unlike Snapchat's Map, which reveals users' locations at any time, users of WhatsApp can share their position only temporarily and with certain contacts. WhatsApp started testing the feature in its beta version in January and says it will be made available in the coming weeks.
The Facebook-owned messaging service is also trialling the ability to recall and edit sent messages that haven't been read.
There has been no further indication about if or when the editing feature, which could ease the minds of people who panic after mistakenly sending texts, will be added to the app.
WhatsApp's live location sharing will be made available to users on Android and iOS devices in the coming weeks. 
good post.
Thanks
