Sharing your live location sounds simple. But if you’ve ever tried doing it over WhatsApp, WeChat, or Facebook, you know it’s not as seamless as it seems.
One user posted a concern on Reddit:
“I’m trying to share my phone’s live location, but once the screen times out, it stops updating. The other person thinks I’ve stopped moving.”
They’re not alone.
Most messaging apps pause background location tracking once your phone’s screen is off or battery optimization kicks in. That means you could be walking through an unfamiliar area, or even in danger—and your contact would have no idea your location hasn’t updated in minutes.
The Problem With Using Social Apps for Personal Safety
Apps like WhatsApp or Messenger were never built for emergency response or real-time tracking. Their location features are limited, and they rely heavily on your phone staying active. Plus, they lack:
- Emergency SOS features
- Silent alerts if you’re in distress
- Battery-efficient, continuous tracking
- Control over who can see you and when
Worse still, people often ignore location messages on social media platforms because they assume it’s just a casual meet-up.
When it comes to personal safety, that delay can be dangerous.
