I'm writing to share an idea that could enhance WhatsApp's functionality by providing more peace of mind to users—especially parents and families.
The idea is to introduce an optional feature called "Location Logo" that allows users to voluntarily share their real-time location with trusted contacts, similar to Apple's Find My service. This would be especially useful for situations where parents or relatives are concerned about the safety and whereabouts of their children or loved ones.
Key elements of this feature could include:
A dedicated icon or section to manage location sharing
Full control for users over who can see their location and for how long
Strong privacy settings to ensure transparency and consent
Optional emergency sharing or automatic check-in features
I believe this would align well with Meta’s mission of connecting people securely while providing tools that support safety and well-being.
Thank you for considering this idea. I’d be happy to share further details if needed.
