Someone has already called it the new anti-infidelity system. We are talking about the new WhatsApp location function which has been available for all devices (iOS, Android and others) since 19 October 2017.

The function, called ” live tracking location “, lets you know where other WhatsApp users are by locating them on WhatsApp and tracking their movements on the map.

How does localization work on WhatsApp?

Live location tracking is a tracking system that lets you know where other WhatsApp users are.

In practice, a user can activate the traceability of the live position by opening a WhatsApp conversation and selecting the “position” item from the menu. Then, they will have to choose how long to share the location (15 minutes, 1 hour or 8 hours).

What is localization for?

WhatsApp’s willingness to allow users to share their location with friends is quite interesting. The decision comes at a time when Facebook is distancing itself from sharing this type of information.

However, when you consider that WhatsApp offers a much more personal experience, members of a family or group of friends might really appreciate being able to monitor each other.

Now we will be able to know where our boyfriend or girlfriend, wife or husband is , with two simple clicks. Unlike mobile phone monitoring apps , which hide so as not to be detected, with this new function, localization will take place in sunlight.

Furthermore, this feature could also be activated temporarily to find other people in crowded places.

The localization between “couples” and “betrayals”

Someone spoke of the location function as the “WhatsApp anti-infidelity system”.

The question is this:

It is true that you can deactivate it, but then how will you justify yourself with your him or her?

When it tells you “why did you disable tracking?”, How will you respond?

These questions open a great new chapter on how love changes in the time of WhatsApp. Some time ago we talked about how WhatsApp helps to discover cheating , now what? What will happen with localization? Tell us your opinion by leaving a comment below.
