WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) – Google is preparing to bring real-time location sharing directly to its Google Messages app, integrating the feature with the company’s Find Hub platform for a more seamless Android experience.<\/p>\n
According to findings from the latest beta version of the Messages app, users will soon be able to share their live location within a conversation, eliminating the need to send a static Google Maps link. <\/p>\n
New code strings reference ‚live location sharing‘ powered by Find Hub, suggesting that recipients may see a built-in map view without leaving the Messages interface.<\/p>\n
The upcoming feature is expected to offer familiar sharing durations, including one hour, for the rest of the day, or until manually turned off, while still supporting traditional link-based location sharing. Although the functionality is not yet live, it appears in the latest beta release, indicating a potential rollout in the near future.<\/p>\n
Separately, an update to the standalone Find Hub app hints that additional features, such as location-based arrival and departure alerts, could soon be added. <\/p>\n
The move suggests Google is consolidating its location-sharing tools around Find Hub as it continues refining cross-app experiences on the Android platform.<\/p>\n
