TL;DR
- Google Messages is getting ready to add a new “Real-time Location” sharing feature.
- We managed to enable the feature in the app and can now show you how it’ll work end-to-end once it goes live.
- You’ll be able to share your live location within chats, and the best part is that the feature will be usable across devices and configurations.
Over the past few years, we’ve seen Google Messages evolve from being a simple texting app to a full-featured messaging platform for Android. With RCS adoption and modern features like message reactions, inline replies, and improved media sharing, Messages feel more competitive with third-party chat apps than ever before.
