In the ever-evolving world of messaging apps, WhatsApp continues to lead the pack by introducing innovative features that enhance user privacy and overall experience. One such recent addition is the ability to hide your location during calls, providing users with an extra layer of control over their privacy settings.
Before diving into the process, it's essential to make sure that you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on your device. Feature updates are often included in newer versions, so keeping your app up-to-date ensures that you can access the latest functionalities.
Once you've confirmed that your app is updated, open WhatsApp and initiate a call with the contact you want to speak with. You can make both voice and video calls while benefiting from the location privacy feature.
During an ongoing call, you'll notice a new location icon on the call screen. It typically appears near the mute, camera, and end-call buttons. This icon is your gateway to the location privacy setting.
Tap on the location icon to access the location privacy setting. WhatsApp will present you with options to either share your live location or hide it during the call. Choose the "Hide Live Location" option to ensure that your real-time location remains confidential throughout the conversation.
WhatsApp will likely prompt you to confirm your decision to hide your live location. This additional step ensures that users don't accidentally activate the feature. Confirm your preference, and the location icon will indicate that your live location is hidden.
With the location privacy setting activated, continue your call as usual. Whether it's a quick catch-up with a friend or a business discussion, you can now enjoy the conversation with the confidence that your live location is concealed.
WhatsApp understands that privacy preferences can vary among users. Therefore, the location privacy setting is flexible, allowing you to adjust it during the call as needed. If, at any point, you wish to share your live location, you can easily toggle the setting to do so.
