WhatsApp is testing a button that lets a user request another participant’s location within a chat, QNA reported on 18 October 2026, citing Android Authority.
The option appears among location-sharing tools and sends a request card. However, the report said its operation had not been fully established during testing. The feature should therefore not be presented as universally available, and its final sharing behaviour remains uncertain while development continues.
