Popular messaging app WhatsApp launched a new location sharing feature on Tuesday. The new feature allows users to share their location in real-time with family or friends. The new feature is called Live Location and enables people to know where you are.

The new location feature enables the user to share their location with whomever the person wants to and the duration to share their location.
