Does anyone do this? I used to do it a lot with no issues but three times in last month the shared location has moved when I send it in whatsapp or messenger.
The process is as follows:
Drop a pin in Google Maps and share location. Copy the link to whatsapp or messenger and send to the second party.
When the recipient receives the link and clicks on it they see a pin in a different location. It is in the same locality but can be up to 1km away.
When i review the message and click on the link it shows me a different location (different to what they see and sometimes different to what I sent)
I have held the sending phone and the receiving phone side by side and clicked on the link and it shows a pin in different locations.
I can't understand it at all.
The first time it happened I assumed operator error (myself or them) but then it has happened twice more since.
Anybody else seen this phenomenon? Any ideas why it could be happening?
I use an iPhone, and have had the issue when sending to both iPhone and android users.
It's an awful pain in the ass. I've started using what3words for mapping instead. I like their program but their maps don't seem to be as well labelled as google maps.

"Hello"
"Where are you?"
"*Candy Bar"
"Yes I know"
"Hello"
"Where are you?"
"Night market"
"Liar! You're at *Candy Bar!"
My original reply was slightly tongue in cheek.
Other bars are available.

App called Glympse.
I received a link from a friend with the app and it showed me a map which was tracking their phone location while driving. Not sure if working in Cambodia though
