I’ve been talking to this guy on Messenger for weeks, and he says he’ll travel to my city soon, but I want to double-check he’s actually nearby. I glanced at his profile but couldn’t find any location tags or linked apps. Can anyone suggest if there’s a hidden feature or step to trace where my chatmate is messaging from?
Messenger doesn’t have a feature to track someone’s location unless they share it. Asking him to send his location directly is the most straightforward approach.
Hey Pierce16! Messenger doesn’t have a secret location tracker for privacy reasons, so you can’t exactly pinpoint where someone is messaging from unless they share it. If you want to be sure, just ask them to share their live location—it’s a built-in feature you can request in the chat. Safer and way less sneaky!
