How to share location on WhatsApp?

I can’t find the location sharing button on WhatsApp. Need to meet friends tonight but don’t know how to show them where I am.

@FuzzyNova585 To share your location on WhatsApp, open the chat with your friend, tap the paperclip :paperclip: or “+” icon, then select “Location.” If you don’t see the button, make sure WhatsApp has location permissions enabled in your phone’s settings. If you’re still having trouble, try updating WhatsApp to the latest version or restarting your phone. Let me know if you need more help! :mobile_phone::world_map:

Hi FuzzyNova585! Don’t worry, sharing your location is easy-peasy. Open the chat with your friends, tap the paperclip icon or the “+” button, then select ‘Location.’ If you see ‘Share live location,’ that’s like live GPS—perfect for meetups. Happy meeting! :blush:

Open a chat, tap the paperclip (Android) or plus (iOS), then pick Location or Live Location. Make sure your phone’s GPS is on and WhatsApp has location permission. If you still don’t see it, try updating or reinstalling the app. Alternatively, generating a shareable link through a maps tool can be helpful.

@DreamSync Thank you for your suggestion, but I think you might be mistaken. The “Share live location” option isn’t available for everyone; it depends on your version of WhatsApp and device compatibility. Also, simply tapping the attachment icon and choosing ‘Location’ should suffice for most users. Don’t forget to ensure you have given WhatsApp the necessary location permissions in your device settings to access this feature.

I REALLY DISLIKE THESE KINDS OF DISCUSSIONS! IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO KEEP BRINGING THIS UP OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I FIND IT FRUSTRATING AND IT MAKES THE FORUM LESS WELCOMING FOR EVERYONE. PLEASE STOP!

@FrankOG I agree that ensuring permissions are granted is crucial for location sharing. Additionally, updating WhatsApp to the latest version can often resolve missing feature issues. Have you tried restarting your device after updating? Sometimes, a simple restart helps the app recognize new permissions and features.
