There are many reasons you might want to track someone’s location on Google Maps without them knowing. For one, keep an eye on your kids or your husband/wife. Of course, you might also want to know the location of your gadgets or to keep track of your employees. Luckily, with the advancement of technology, we can efficiently track all these from the comfort of our homes or offices. Although there are other apps available like the mSpy app and iSharing that can help you track someone without them knowing, tracking them using WhatsApp might also do the job.
The mSpy app has other features aside from tracking someone’s location without them knowing. With the app, you can track a person’s social activities and the websites they frequently visit. That might be interesting for parents or spouses that would love to keep tabs on their child or partner’s activities on the internet. However, if tracking someone’s location is what’s in it for you, then you might use the WhatsApp Live Location tracker.

Meanwhile, to track someone’s location on Google Maps using WhatsApp, you can check the procedures below. Of course, you need to get hold of the target device (the person you want to track their location).
- Launch WhatsApp on the target device and open your chat with the person
- Tap on the attachment icon and select location
- On the next screen, select live location. Don’t select the current location as that would only allow you to track the person’s location at that particular time. Also, selecting a live location means you can track the person in real-time
- The next step is to select the time for which you intend to track the location and click on the send. You will get a WhatsApp message from the person, open the chat, and tap on view live location on the location message from their phone to yours
- Once you open the location message, tap on their profile icon to see the live location on Google maps and click on Get Directions
- Select the Google maps app to see the person’s location.
That’s how you can track someone’s location on Google maps using WhatsApp. For anytime you want to know their live location, you should click on the location message you sent to your phone initially.
