Live location sharing is making its way into the Matrix spec with MSC3489 and is already testable behind a labs flag in Element's web client. It'd be great if the bridge could integrate this with WhatsApps's live location sharing feature (which currently only triggers a notification as per the changes done for #403).

I'd be interested to start a conversation to understand if this is possible and what would be needed to implement it.

Commenting to follow this. I'm also interested to discuss the possibilities.

As this bridge is based on the WhatsApp web API, I don't think this feature is possible right now. Even WhatsApp Web itself does not support seeing live location.

So I think this is not blocked on this bridge but on WhatsApp.
