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!
