How to share live location & track on Whatsapp

Today, we’re rolling out a new feature that allows you to share your location in real-time with family or friends. Whether you're meeting up with friends, letting loved ones know you're safe, or sharing your commute, Live Location is a simple and secure way to let people know where you are. This end-to-end encrypted feature lets you control who you share with and for how long. You can choose to stop sharing at any time or let the Live Location timer simply expire.

Here's how it works. Open a chat with the person or group you want to share with. Under "Location" in the attach button, there's a new option to "Share Live Location." Choose for how long you want to share and tap send. Each person in the chat will be able to see your real-time location on a map. And if more than one person shares their Live Location in the group, all locations will be visible on the same map.

Live Location is available on both Android and iPhone and will be rolling out in the app in the coming weeks. We hope you like it.

Now it is possible to delete whatsapp sent message

Deleting messages for everyone allows you to delete specific messages you have sent to either a group or an individual chat. This is particularly useful if you sent a message to the wrong chat or if the message you sent contains a mistake.

Messages you successfully delete for everyone will be replaced with "This message was deleted" in your recipients' chats (*). Similarly, if you see "This message was deleted" in a chat, it means that the sender deleted their message for everyone.

You can only delete messages for everyone for up to seven minutes after sending. Once seven minutes have passed, there is no way to delete messages for everyone. To delete messages for everyone:

1. Open WhatsApp and go to the chat containing the message you wish to delete.
2. Tap and hold the message. Optionally, tap more messages to delete multiple messages at once.
3. Tap Delete  at the top of the screen > Delete for everyone.

Note:

• In order for messages to be successfully deleted for everyone, both you and your recipient must be using the latest version of WhatsApp for Android, iPhone or Windows Phone.
• (*) If you or your recipient are not using the latest version of WhatsApp for Android, iPhone or Windows Phone, this feature will not be supported.
• Recipients may see your message before it's deleted or if deletion was not successful.
• You will not be notified if deleting for everyone was not successful.

To delete messages for yourself

Deleting messages for yourself allows you to delete your copy of messages you've sent or received from your phone. This has no effect on your recipients' chats. Your recipients will still see the messages in their chat screen. To delete messages for yourself:

1. Open WhatsApp and go to the chat containing the message you wish to delete.
2. Tap and hold the message. Optionally, tap more messages to delete multiple messages at once.
3. Tap Delete  at the top of the screen > Delete for me.

WhatsApp now gets two energizing new Features: Picture-in-picture and content as a status message

WhatsApp takes off two new features for both Android and iOS clients. One of them is the Picture-in-Picture video calling highlight and the second one is the text status update. To review, both the features were prior accessible for the beta clients, yet now WhatsApp has pushed out both the features to all.

The new Picture-in-Picture video calling highlight enable clients to multitask. The element fundamentally enables the clients to make video calls and send messages to companions all the while. For example, if a client is on a video call and furthermore needs to converse with some other companion by means of message, they can just resize the video calling screen so they can converse with one companion through video call, and message the other one. Subsequent to resizing the video call screen will show up at one side of the portable screen, while the foundation will be that of the visit box. It is essential, the resized video calling screen can be resized according to prerequisite and it can likewise be dragged to any edge of the telephone screen.

This is the Picture-in-Picture highlight, otherwise called PiP. Presently the content announcements highlight. Like we share pictures and recordings as status, iOS and Android clients will now have the capacity to set a content status also. It is not the same as the profile content status. We realize that photo and recordings on WhatsApp status last's just for 24 hours. The scene will be the same with the new WhatsApp content status also. Things being what they are, how does this component work?

To set content as a status message, clients will initially need to go to the status alternative and tap on the "pencil" symbol which will be shown underneath the screen. On tapping the symbol, WhatsApp will request that the client enter content. Close by entering the content status, the clients will likewise have the capacity to change the foundation shade of the content status. The content status works like the photograph or video status. It will vanish following 24 hours; companions will have the capacity to remark on the status which will come as an individual message to the client.
