I share my location on WhatsApp all the time when meeting up with friends, and it’s super simple. Here’s how I do it on my phone:
Android/iPhone: Open a WhatsApp chat (individual or group), tap the paperclip icon (bottom right), and select “Location.” You can share your current location (a one-time pin) or live location (updates for 15 mins, 1 hour, or 8 hours). Hit send, and it shares a map link. I used live location last weekend to help a friend find me at a festival—worked like a charm! Make sure your phone’s GPS is on.
Just a heads-up: only share with people you trust, as they’ll see your exact spot!

To share your location on WhatsApp, open the chat with the person or group you want to send it to. Tap the paperclip () icon on Android or the + icon on iPhone, then select Location. You’ll see options like “Send your current location” or “Share live location.” The first shares a fixed point, while live location updates your movements in real time for the duration you choose. Confirm your selection, and WhatsApp will send the map with your location. This feature is especially useful for meetups, travel, or letting someone track your journey safely in real time.

Open the chat with the person you want to share your location with. Tap on the attachment (paperclip/plus icon), then choose Location. You can either share your current location or your live location for a set time. This helps friends or family find you easily.
