WhatsApp appears to be working on a new feature that would allow users to track their contacts in real time.

Live Location Tracking, as it’s currently known, has been spotted in the beta version of the messaging app, both on Android (version 2.16.399) and iOS (version 2.17.3.28).

With the feature, users will be able to make their current location visible to members of a group chat, allowing them to find each other more easily during meet-ups.

The feature, however, is disabled by default and will require users to activate it first through the app’s setting menu.

Live Location Tracking has for now been limited to show locations for a period of one, two and five minutes.

WhatsApp already allows users to share their specific location with friends but live tracking will come as a major upgrade to the app’s functionality.

However, the feature is still in its testing phase and as such there is no official word as to when and if it will be made available.
