Before the update, you could share your location by tapping on the Location button on your Android app.

In other cases, you would key in the words Where are you?

After sending the link, the recipient would tap on it and either get directions or view the destination.

Furthermore, Google has had plans to discontinue the app since 2018.

It all started by removing the SMS feature and custom ringtones from Hangouts.

If you are a Hangouts user, you may have to opt for real-time location sharing using Google Maps.

You also have the option to share your destination from within the app using Google Messages.

Google Messages has the same feature but hidden under the user interface.

Another option is to block location requests.

Perhaps a better way of removing location sharing on Google Hangouts is to block user accounts.
