WhatsApp is the most popular instant messaging app worldwide, offering various features like chatting, voice and video calls, document sharing, and even online payments. Over the years, WhatsApp has continued to update and introduce new features to improve user experience.

One of the useful features provided by WhatsApp is Live Location sharing. This feature allows users to share their real-time location with others, making it easier to track someone's whereabouts. However, while it’s a convenient tool, forgetting to turn it off after sharing can potentially compromise your privacy, as others can still track you.

To protect your privacy, WhatsApp offers a way to see who has access to your live location and turn it off if needed. Here's how you can check who has received your live location:

Steps to Check Who Has Received Your Live Location:

  1. Open WhatsApp on your device.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu icon at the top-right corner of the screen.
  3. Select Settings from the menu.
  4. Go to the Privacy option.
  5. Scroll down and tap on Location.
  6. Here, you will see the list of people who have access to your live location. From this screen, you can turn off live location sharing if you want to stop sharing your real-time location.

By following these simple steps, you can easily ensure your location is no longer visible to anyone once you no longer need to share it.
