Detect if the WhatsApp location is false

If you’ve noticed that it’s not really a fake location in WhatsApp, we’re simply sending a location, but we make it look like it’s our current location, especially if you ask us to, creating some confusion.

To find out if the position they send us is the current location of our contact or a “false location”, we simply have to note that underneath the location they send us there is no link, because if a link appears it is not their current location. When you send us the current location in WhatsApp, no link appears.
