WhatsApp the global chat and messaging platform seems to be working on a new feature that would allow users to track their contacts in real time. The CEO of Facebook (the new owners of Whatsapp) announced that ‘last seen’ on Whatsapp will now include the person’s GPS location.

Invading people's privacy is not a very good idea at all.

This may not be welcome by me, have they consider the security implications of such innovation?

It will only work if you switch on your phone's location software. How else will whatsapp detect your exact location if the software is switched off?

New World Order loading...
No privacy.
No hiding place.

And also Mods please do something about this annoying gateway error.

You never see something turn off location from your device settings and then log into google.com. your browser will still tell you your exaxt location based on your phone's ip address. Pretty annoying i tell you..

I'm feeling for my friend who was born on 29th of February. So, he will wish everyone else Happy birthday this year. No one will tell him so. Or should i just send him "happy birthday", taking 1st of March as his 29th February??

Your wrong,
If you have a rooted android you can mock or spoof your location.
So assuming i spoof my location to be in SA, whole device app will assume that's where am located including WhatsApp.

correct guy. Even without root, a good VPN will still deceive your apps since all the apps rely on the system location

I bet you never heard of GPS location spoofer or mock location before. As dem dey create am someone else go dey think outta the box. Remember when they created status that cannot be saved, people developed status saver apps. #Lobatan

some they by pass VPN but just combine GPS spoofer with VPN and you are good to go. I love spoofers as you can even enter the longitude and latitude of the exact location you wish to be. Teleportation made easy.
