To share your location on WhatsApp, follow these detailed steps:
-
Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your mobile device. Ensure that you have a stable internet connection to facilitate smooth sharing of your location.
-
Select Chat or Contact: Navigate to the chat with the individual or group where you want to share your location. If you are starting a new conversation, simply search for and select the contact or group.

Select Location: From the list of options that appear (such as Gallery, Camera, Document, etc.), choose "Location." This option may also be labeled with an icon depicting a map or a pin.

Share Live Location: WhatsApp offers two primary methods to share your location: sharing a single point on the map or sharing your live location in real-time. To share your current location, tap "Send Your Current Location." This will immediately send a map pin showing your exact coordinates at that moment.

Share Live Location: Alternatively, you can choose to share your live location by tapping "Share Live Location." This option allows the recipient(s) to see your real-time movements on a map for a specified duration (15 minutes, 1 hour, or 8 hours). Choose the duration that best suits your needs.
-
Confirm and Send: After selecting the method and duration of location sharing, review the details to ensure accuracy. Then, tap "Send" to share your location with the selected contact(s) or group.
Sharing your location on WhatsApp is a useful feature for coordinating meetings, providing directions, or simply keeping friends and family updated about your whereabouts. Always remember to use this function responsibly and only share your location with trusted contacts.
