With the change you will make through the settings, you will be able to share your instant location information with individual users for 15 minutes or a few hours. It is stated that this feature is initially only available between friends and mutual friends.
In addition, the feature will be turned off the first time you install the app or log in. There will also be no option to share with all friends. To activate the relevant setting, you need to go to your friend’s profile and select the duration of the location sharing. Then your live location sharing will automatically appear in your chat with that person.
