WhatsApp after testing the live location sharing for some time now finally launched. This is not the first time a user can do that like people like Facebook messenger, Google Maps and Messages on iPhone already have it. A few months ago Snapchat introduced it with the name Snap Map. And this time he came to WhatsApp, the most widely used instant messenger in the whole world. This guide will tell you how to use and share your location directly on WhatsApp from iPhone and Android devices.
What is WhatsApp Live Location?
WhatsApp has a location sharing feature for a long time. But it is static and one-time location. Which means you have to share it again when you move to a different place. On the other hand, track your location directly and show you on the map as you move for the specified time interval. It is dynamic and updates in real time. Even when you don't use WhatsApp, your location is automatically updated on the map.
So, let's continue and see how to use the live location feature.
Share Location Directly on WhatsApp
Update to the latest version of WhatsApp from each application store. When finished, follow the steps below.
I have used screenshots from the iPhone application but there isn't much difference for Android.

2. Open WhatsApp and select a conversation from each contact or group that you want to share the location directly.

When you are traveling or on your way to your friend's house, the location directly on WhatsApp keeps your contacts informed about your location. This feature is another weapon added to the WhatsApp arsenal.
