iphones let people share location with other iphones. I know some of friends that do. Google maps and Apple maps, and Whatsapp also have live location sharing (occasionally useful).
WA location sharing (at least on Android) sucks ass though. They haven't properly implemented the notification Android requires apps to give for background location access, so it exclusively works if WA is running in the foreground. It just stops updating if the person sharing locks their phone or closes WhatsApp.
Google Maps sharing is much better it also allows you to select any time limit in 1 hour steps, or permanently (until it's turned off again), instead of the WA presets of ¼, 1 or 8 hours.
alright cheers
