    Ever found yourself in a situation where you need to quickly share your location with a friend, family member, or group on WhatsApp?

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to effortlessly share your whereabouts with just a few taps. So, next time you’re coordinating plans or letting someone know where to find you, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge to share your location in no time!

    How to Share Your Location on WhatsApp

    Open the chat or group conversation where you want to share your location.

    In the chat window, tap on the attachment icon (paperclip icon) located next to the text input field (as shown in the screenshot below). This will open a menu with various options.

    From the menu, select “Location”. This will open a map interface.

    Select location - WhatsApp

    Before you send your location to anyone, you need to give WhatsApp access to your location. Once you hit “continue”, WhatsApp will have permission to view your current location.

    On the map interface, you’ll see your current location indicated by a marker. You can adjust the accuracy of your location by dragging the marker to the desired spot if necessary.

    Now, there are two options here. Share live location and Send your current location.

    Depending upon your purpose, you can either tap on “Share live location” to update the other user if there is any change in your location or tap on “Send your current location” if your location does not change.

    Can I Share Fake Live Location on WhatsApp

    Yes, you can share a fake live location via Android if you want to prank your friends. To do so, you need to download a fake GPS app from the Android Play Store. Open the fake GPS app and drop a location pin to any fake location you desire. Then, open WhatsApp and share your current or live location. You will notice that the new fake location will be sent to your friend.

    Unless someone has shared their live location with you, you cannot see their location without their permission.
