Facebook introduces Live Location Sharing in Messenger

"We've been testing this for a little while, and people tell us that Live Location Sharing is super helpful when trying to coordinate with friends, telling people how close you are when on your way to an appointment or even sharing where you are with your roommate when you're on your way home at night. You can share your live location with a group of friends in Messenger or just with one person," said Facebook.
To share your Live Location in a message on iOS, tap the More icon and select Location.
With today's update, you'll see a map of your current location and the option to tap a blue bar to share your live location.
If you choose to share your live location, the person or people you share it with will be able to see where you are on a map for the next 60 minutes.
You can stop sharing your live location at any time; just tap Stop Sharing.
A small clock in the lower right hand corner of the map will also let you know how much longer you're sharing your location for.
For Android, tap the + menu and select Location.
You'll see a map of your current location and the option to tap a blue bar to share your live location.
It's still possible to share a static point on a map. For example, if a user wants to tell a friend which coffee shop to meet at, tap the location pin or the More icon, and then instead of choosing Share Live Location, tap the red pin in the upper right hand corner. From there, they can search for a place to share, or can drag and drop the pin on the map. Then, tap Send. 
"Sharing your location in a Messenger |conversation - either continuously for an |hour with Live Location or as a static point - |is completely optional. You are always in |control. For additional information and |instructions on sending or sharing a location |in Messenger, contact the Help Center https://facebook.com/help/messenger-app/1256099024444800," Facebook said. |- The Nation
