Track your friends realtime on WhatsApp soon

According to the WABetaInfo account on Twitter which is known for leaking information related to WhatsApp updates, the feature will work on WhatsApp beta version 2.17.3.28 for iOS, 2.16.399+ on Android and will be disabled by default. 

“The tracking can be kept on for 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, or indefinitely. This comes in handy if you’re supposed to meet the gang at a certain location and time, and you want to see how far away from the destination everyone in the group is,” phonearena.com reported. 

The live streaming can also be disabled so that your group members can’t learn where you are at any given moment, it added. The “Live Location Tracking” is disabled by default, which means that WhatsApp needs to activate it when it is ready to be launched. In December last year, WhatsApp added the features to revoke and edit the sent messages in a beta version testing. 

The feature is currently available in WhatsApp beta for the iOS 2.17.1.869 platform. WhatsApp recently launched a video calling feature from India which was rolled out globally to other countries. The feature is available on all platforms, Android, iOS and Windows. With 160 million users in India, WhatsApp is available in more than 50 different languages around the world and in 10 Indian languages. Nearly 100 million calls are being made on the platform daily worldwide.
