# Sending and requesting locations on WhatsApp

### Location templates <a href="#location-templates" id="location-templates"></a>

When using a Media or Utility type template, you can now [add location as a header](https://guides.clickatell.com/whatsapp-channel/channel-capabilities/whatsapp-message-templates/use-location-in-message-templates). To your customer, this appears as a generic map at the top of the template reflecting a static location defined by the business for a particular use case. When tapped, the customer's default map app will open and load the specified location.

### Request location interactive message <a href="#request-location-interactive-message" id="request-location-interactive-message"></a>

Clickatell now supports interactive messages requesting customers to share a location. They contain body text and a *Send location* button that customers can tap. Tapping the button displays a location-sharing screen that the user can then use to share their location.

Sharing of a live location is **not** supported.
