WhatsApp can be used to locate a contact in an emergency, in addition to being a social media programme for posting and calling. It is possible to monitor a user’s location for safety considerations if they have been offline for days or even months, or if they have sent messages that have not been delivered after a long period.
Even if the user hasn’t given their location via WhatsApp, this method can work.

Before you can see their location, make sure you’ve followed the procedures for using WhatsApp Web on a Windows 10 computer.
All other tabs should be closed, leaving only the WhatsApp Web tab active. Furthermore, you and the other user should have had a recent chat.
