Whenever we think of messaging, we usually think of Messenger and WhatsApp. Although Facebook owns both instant messaging apps, Messenger is a lot different from WhatsApp.
Messenger is a separate app from Facebook, available for desktop and mobile operating systems. With messenger, you can send text messages, file attachments, photos & videos, and more.
Not many would know, but Messenger also allows users to share their real-time location with friends. So, if you are using Messenger on Android or iOS, you can share your exact location with your Facebook friends.
The location-sharing feature is available on Messenger for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. Unfortunately, there’s no location sharing feature on the Messenger desktop app. Below, we have shared a step-by-step guide on how to share your location with Facebook Messenger.
