WhatsApp introduced its new feature of sharing real-time GPS location many days ago. But many of you didn’t know how to use it.
Suppose, for the first time, your friend is coming to your house. But he can’t find your home address.
In this case, if you share your current location through WhatsApp, he will be able to easily find your address.
In addition, you can use this location-sharing feature of WhatsApp for many different purposes. Additionally, you can choose the duration of your live location sharing.
WhatsApp’s location-sharing feature lets you share two types of locations: live location and current location.
Now maybe you are wondering to know what the difference between live location and current location is?
Difference between the Live location and the current location
Current location means where you are present. But if you share a live location, it will show your real-time location.
