Prerequisites
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Steps to Share Google Maps Locations on WhatsApp
Step 1: Open Google Maps
Launch the Google Maps app on your device. Ensure that you are signed in with your Google account.
Step 2: Search for the Location
Next, use the search bar located at the top of the screen to search for the location you want to share. You can either enter the address or the name of the place in the search bar.
Step 3: Open the Location
Once you find the desired location in the search results, tap on it to open the location details page.
Step 4: Access the Share Options
On the location details page, you will see an options menu represented by three vertical dots. Tap on it to access additional options.
Step 5: Choose Share
From the options menu, select the "Share" option. A list of different apps installed on your device will appear.
Step 6: Select WhatsApp
Scroll through the list and locate WhatsApp. Tap on it to select it as the sharing option.

Additional Tips
- You can also use the "Share" option directly from the Google Maps search results without opening the location details page. Just tap and hold on the desired location in the search results, and then select the "Share" option from the context menu.
- If the recipient of the shared location doesn't have Google Maps installed, they will still be able to view the location using WhatsApp's built-in map viewer.
- Make sure you have a stable internet connection when sharing the location to ensure a smooth experience.
Now you can easily share Google Maps locations with your contacts on WhatsApp. Enjoy exploring and sharing your favorite places with others!
