Do you want to tell someone where you are right now? Perhaps you need to meet a friend who can’t find your house but needs to see you. With only a few taps on your phone’s screen, WhatsApp’s functionality enables you to instantly share your current position with any of your contacts.
You can watch your WhatsApp contacts’ locations in real time and know how far away they are from you thanks to WhatsApp’s “Live Location Sharing” feature.
For instance, you can ask your kids to WhatsApp Share Live Location with you so that you can track their whereabouts while they travel between home and school.
