Every day it is possible to unravel more tricks and unknown functions within the famous WhatsApp messaging application, which is used by almost three million people in the world to communicate with loved ones or work.
On this occasion, a newly discovered feature is the ability to see where a person is, in real time and without being discovered, through the web version.
As published by El Cronista, this feat consists of five steps and, despite sounding simple, it has its difficulties because it only works if you and the person you want to locate are using WhatsApp for computers.
A series of codes must also be entered on the application to obtain positive results during the procedure.
It’s official, WhatsApp has already enabled the option to send messages to yourself
How to locate someone with WhatsApp in five steps
- Go to WhatsApp Web and log in, then let it run in the background on your computer. You need to remember that this trick will also not work if you try it on the Windows 10 app.
- On your keyboard, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to open the task manager. Don’t worry if you are logged out.
- Afterwards, open the run function by pressing the Win + R keys and type ‘cmd’ in the available space.
- After hitting enter, a command prompt will appear, where you must type ‘netstat-an’ and hit Enter. Then an IP address close to that of the other person will appear.
- Finally, enter this web page and enter the IP address that the previous procedure gave. If you followed all the steps correctly, a location close to that of the other user will appear.
