WhatsApp Pin Location

Walking or driving to somewhere you have not been before while solely depending on someone else for directions can be a pain in the rear end. Especially in Nairobi where you’ll be told “Fika kwa corner, ukiona mti kubwa achana nayo alafu uende mbele kwa gate ya black”. It can be quite confusing hence why I fully appreciate Google Maps and the many lives it has saved. Luckily, WhatsApp saw the same prospect and incorporated a means to send a location pin. Here is how to go about it.
