Someone on Whatsapp?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yes<\/strong>, it is legal to find someone on WhatsApp. The app comes with a feature that allows users to share their location whenever they want to. This form of tracking is completely legal in most countries because it requires the consent of both parties to access the tracking feature. Once you&#8217;ve shared your location with others, they can monitor your whereabouts and won\u2019t be breaking any law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if someone doesn\u2019t share his\/her location with you, tracking is impossible. WhatsApp has a location-sharing time range of 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 8 hours. After this time frame, you can\u2019t track the person through the shared link anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Find_Someones_Location_on_WhatsApp\"><\/span>How to Find Someone\u2019s Location on WhatsApp?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WhatsApp prioritizes user privacy and safety, hence why you can only track people&#8217;s location when they share it with you.
