To share your current location on WhatsApp using an Android device, follow these detailed steps:
- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your Android device.
- Select Contact or Group: Navigate to the chat of the individual or group with whom you wish to share your location.

- Location Shared: Your location will now be sent as a message in the chat. The recipient(s) can tap on the link to view your shared location on a map within WhatsApp.
