Popular messaging app ‘WhatsApp’ recently gets a new update in the Google Play beta program. Labeled as version 2.27.213, the all new update discloses some new features as compared to the previous version and was first reported on WABetainfo .well, the most attractive amongst the new features is ‘Live Location’, which basically reveals the location icon of the user in the chat list ahead facilitating the live location option inside Privacy settings.

Displayed as a Green icon, the live location also comes with an option (“Send this location”) to share the current and live location of the user. This all new option will replace the normal location sharing option which was obtainable in previous beta version.

The users will then be capable to send text status updates to their contacts with a new option called “New text status” which can be managed in Status under Privacy setting. Also, the users will be able to modify their text status with different fonts (two options available), colors and put in emoji to it.
