There’s a million apps out there which you can install to let you see your partner’s location if you really need realtime telemetry to help salve your anxiety - why can’t you use one of those, instead of introducing a huge privacy flaw into a totally unrelated messaging service?
Seriously this is about a messaging app being aligned to the FSB, and you’re arguing that letting it know your partner’s location while they’re particularly vulnerable is somehow a desirable feature??
No, I’m not talking about Telegram, just location sharing as a general feature. And if you already have a chat app you share your secrets on, why wouldn’t you also trust it with your location. Sounds better than introducing yet another company’s app to sniff on you.
When you have actual friends and you want tomeet up, just share the live location for 15 minutes, walk towards each other and you can get live updates to see where both are.
I’ll rely on the good old classic “hey lets go to X at Y time.” If X is large enough of an area then “we’ll meet up at Z (probably the snack bar knowing me.)”
That… seems like a bad thing. Why do you want that as a feature?
In addition to finding friends, it’s nice to see your partner making progress home if they’re driving/walking in poor weather.

No, all my friends are capable of finding each other without having to rely on an app to do it for them.

that is certainly the way, people above are too spoiled by the technology it seems
