It’s been a long time since WhatsApp entered the market with its various updates. One of the most important concerns undoubtedly the location sharing va the platform. This feature is extremely useful for both users and companies, as it allows you to know the location of a person in real time, greatly helping restaurants and couriers in their deliveries.
This function has several modes, including real-time location and last available position. This way you can share your last position or, your position in real time. The other user can view it at any time. It is also important to remember that the data is end-to-end encrypted, allowing you to decide how long to share your location with another user.
How can you share your location in real time?
To share your location click on the multimedia icon of the WhatsApp chat. Then will click on “location”, and then “real-time location” and then the app will ask you to confirm the action to send the location.
How can you share your available location?
An other option that WhatsApp offers us is to share the last available location. This feature was created for those who do not wish for a user to constantly see his/her position. The process is the same as the one described above; however, when we click on submit location, it will be sent automatically with no need to confirm anything.
Note that once the location is sent via WhatsApp, you’ll only have to click on the mini-map. Subsequently a larger map will open where we can change the viewing mode, deciding between relief, satellite or show traffic view.
Sharing the location has different uses for different situations. For normal WhatsApp users, this is useful when trying to reach a place where a family member or friend is. It also works when you want to get to a certain company location, or you are a parent who wants to know where his son goes once he leaves the house.
On the other hand, if you are a company, this function will ensure that your customers always know your position. In addition, it gives you the ability to inform customers on their orders’ ETA, since the delivery shares the position of the product in real time, allowing the customer to view his/her order at all times.
Always keep in mind that the use of this feature depends on the user and the different situations in which they find themselves.
