TECHNOLOGY | WhatsApp To Introduce Real Time Tracking Of Contacts



Instant messaging app WhatsApp is working on a feature that will allow you to track your friends in real time. That means, no more "I'll be there in just 5 minutes" excuses while you're still stuck in the bathroom!

According to the WABetaInfo handle on Twitter, known for leaking information related to WhatsApp, the feature will function on beta version 2.17.3.28 for iOS and 2.16.399+ on Android.  It will be disabled by default.

Moreover, phonearena.com on Monday reported, “The tracking can be kept on for 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, or indefinitely. This comes in handy if you’re supposed to meet the gang at a certain location and time, and you want to see how far away from the destination every one in the group is.”  It also added that the live streaming is a function that can be disabled.
