Can you share live location on messages?
No, but you can forward it to a friend
Facebook has been trying to solve the dilemma of privacy for years, and now it has a new solution.
On Thursday, Facebook launched a new feature called Live Location. The feature allows people to share their location in real time on their profiles.
The company says it is already being used by a number of users including musicians and athletes. You can change your location on the live location settings screen. You can also view your friends' locations on their profiles.
When you have chosen to share your location with others, you will see the option to share the location. What if you do not want to share your location? A new toggle button appears to prevent you from sharing your location. It works with Messenger and WhatsApp and is rolling out to all users globally over the next few weeks. How do you choose who can see your location? You will be able to choose who you share your location with using a new feature called Who can see your location? In a statement, Facebook said it plans to encourage people to share their locations with their friends, family and important people in their lives, as long as they are aware of the feature. Is Facebook collecting location data? Facebook collects and stores the location of your phone when you use the app or website. This information is used to target ads at you, and is stored on your device. This feature is different because it lets you share your location in real time with friends who are nearby. Facebook says that its location data only includes your own position, and not your friends' locations. Facebook says it does not use the data for any purpose other than helping you to share your location with your friends and family. Is there a limit to how many people I can share my location with? It will work on Messenger, WhatsApp and Facebook Lite. Are there any restrictions on where I can share my location? Yes. The feature will only be available in the US and Canada. Facebook says that it will roll out the feature to other countries in the coming months. Can I see where my friends are in real time? Not just yet.

How do you share live location on iPhone?
Question: ?
I have my iPhone 7 Plus and have been using the Live Location feature quite a bit, mainly to get the best parking deals for the city I am in. I'd like to know if there is any way to share this with others or maybe even other smartphones.
What I mean by sharing live location is that the screen will show that I am at this address and when I take a picture of that location, it will store it for the time that I'm at that location. Is this possible? Answer: Hi, thank you for your comment. It is not possible to share the live location on other phones with an iPhone. Apple is the only company who can do it.
The only thing I can suggest is to use the Google Maps on your iPhone instead of Live Location. We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused. We have been trying to find a way for others to use Live Location without having to purchase the iPhone. But there is no other solution than purchasing an iPhone.
We are also trying to create a way for others to share their location using Google Maps, but there is not a simple and clear way to do that yet. Please stay tuned for more updates.

Can you let me know which model of watch I need? I need the Series 2 for sure. I have a 2025 silver aluminum (series 1) and my phone runs into a "unsupported" problem which doesn't happen in the new model. If that's not going to be fixed then I'm going to sell my current watch and buy the Series 2.
I tried the fix that another customer used to correct their "unsupported" problem. It was unsuccessful.
I'm trying to sell my current Apple Watch and upgrade to the Series 2. There seems to be an issue with using the same charger as my Watch. When I put it on the charger it says it can't find a device.
Unfortunately, Apple Watch Series 2 does not work with the original charger, so you need a special adapter to connect the charger to the Watch.
