WhatsApp tip: How to share your 'Live location' in real time

It already works on both Google Maps and the iOS Find my Friends app. We are, of course, talking about sharing your location in real time. Until now, it was only possible to send your current location via WhatsApp. But, since the middle of October 2017, it's been possible to share your live location with chat partners. We'll show you how to use this feature below.

WhatsApp live location sharing in quick steps:

• Open the chat with the person you want to share your location with
• Click on the paperclip 
• Select location
• Click on 'Share live location'
• Set how long you're sharing your live location (15 minutes, one hour or eight hours)
• Add a message if you want, then click send
• To stop sharing, open the chat and tap 'Stop sharing'
