added a new
feature to the
messenger app
which makes it
share their current locations with
friends.The new
feature which is
called live Location
Sharing is
powered by Google map. The new live
Location Sharing is
pretty similar to
Whatsapp’s Live
location tracking
and it let’s you share your current
location with
selected people.
You can choose to
share your location
with a group of friends and
families or just to
a single person.
And there is also
an option to stop it
at anytime.
Your shared
location will only
be available for
24hours and a
small count down
clock is available to tell you how
long you have left.
Anytime you share
your location, both
you and whoever
you share it with will be able to see
the estimated time
it will take you to
get to their
location by car.
If you don’t want to share your
current location,
you have the
option to share a
static point on the
map. To share a static location,
click on the
location pin and
then tap on the red
pin at the top right
corner of the screen. After that
just search for the
location or just
drag and drop the
pin on any part of
the map. This feature is
available to both
iOS and Android
users. It’s also
been rolled out
globally, so just head over to your
app store and
update your
messenger app to
the latest version.
