How do I save a geolocation in WhatsApp - in detail?
To save a geolocation in WhatsApp, follow these detailed steps:
- Open the Chat: First, open the chat where you want to share your location. This could be an individual or group chat.
- Attach Button: Look for the paperclip icon (attach button) at the bottom left of the screen. Tap on it.
- Location Option: From the menu that appears, select 'Location'. This will bring up a map with your current location highlighted.
- Send Your Location: If you're happy with the accuracy and want to share your exact location immediately, simply tap the 'Send' button (usually represented by an airplane icon). Your contact(s) will receive a message with your location on a map.
-
Saving for Later Use (if sharing immediately is not desired):
- iOS Devices: Tap on the '+' sign next to the location pin to add it as a favorite. You can then access and share this location later from the favorites list.
- Android Devices: Unfortunately, WhatsApp for Android does not currently support saving locations for future use directly within the app. However, you can take a screenshot of your location and save it to your device's gallery or note down the coordinates manually.
-
Share Live Location (if you want to share your real-time movements):
- After tapping 'Location', instead of sending your current position, tap on 'Send Your Current Location'.
- Choose how long you want to share your location for (e.g., 15 minutes, 1 hour, or 8 hours).
- Tap 'Send' and confirm by tapping 'Share Live Location'.
