There are several common ways to send or share your location depending on the device and app you are using:
On WhatsApp (Android)
- Open WhatsApp and go to the Chats tab.
- Open a chat with the person you want to send your location to.
- Tap the Attach icon and select "Location."
- Tap "Send Your Current Location" to share your live current position.
- The recipient can open the location to get directions to you.
Via Text Message (iPhone)
- In an iMessage to your contact, type "I'm at" and the phone will offer to share your location with a map.
- You can also drop a pin manually in Google Maps and share that via text message to send a link with your coordinates.
On iPhone Messages App
- Open Messages and a conversation.
- Tap the contact's name at the top, then tap "Share My Location."
- Choose how long to share your location (one hour, until end of day, indefinitely).
- Tap send to share a live updating location in the conversation.
- You can also send a pinned location that does not update as you move.
Using Google Maps (Android and iPhone)
- Open Google Maps and sign in.
- Tap on your profile icon and select "Location sharing."
- Start a new share by selecting people (must have a Google account) or create a link to share.
- Choose how long you want the location to be shared (up to 24 hours or indefinitely).
- Send the location share link via text, email, or another app.
You can also request someone's location from Google Maps if they are sharing with you.
These methods cover the most popular and widely used platforms for sending locations today. The exact steps may vary slightly depending on phone model and app version. If there is a specific app or device in use, I can provide more tailored instructions.
