How to use live location

Live Location allows you to share your real-time location with the members of an individual or group chat. You control whether and how long to share your live location. You can also stop sharing your live location at any time. Once stopped or expired, your live location will no longer be shared.

Individuals who you shared your live location with will continue to see the location you shared as a static thumbnail image and can tap the image to see your last updated location.

This feature is end-to-end encrypted, which means no one can see your live location except the people you shared with. To learn more about your security on WhatsApp, please visit WhatsApp Security. You can also read our Privacy Policy for more information on WhatsApp’s privacy practices.

Why is WhatsApp live not updating?

If you’re facing the issue of “WhatsApp live location not updating Android,” it’s possible that frequent clearing of apps from the Recent Apps menu might be the cause. Inadvertently closing WhatsApp from this menu can hinder its background functioning, preventing live location updates.

Does WhatsApp have live captions?

Some options include captions, Live Caption, Live Transcribe, Sound Amplifier, hearing aid support, and real-time text (RTT).

Does WhatsApp show online when you are on a call?

No. You are NOT shown online during whatsapp call. When you’re on a whatsapp call, either you’ve called the other person or have received the call (it doesn’t matter) , you’re NOT shown online. You’ll be shown online when you’ll pick up the call but only for 10–20 sec.

How can I know who is secretly looking at my WhatsApp?

It’s at the bottom of the screen, just above an eye-shaped icon. Doing so will expand the icon into a list of people who have viewed your status. If you see “0” next to the eye-shaped icon, no one has seen your status yet.
