Location Tracking: People usually use mobile phones to talk to their friends and relatives. But, do you know that your location can also be tracked through calls. In today's time, WhatsApp has become one of the most used apps. Your location can be tracked during WhatsApp calls. To avoid this, you have to turn on a special setting in WhatsApp. Let us tell you about it in detail. 

Danger of location tracking from WhatsApp calls
During a WhatsApp call, your IP address may be shared with the person calling you. Your location can be traced using the IP address. 

Settings to avoid location tracking in WhatsApp
WhatsApp has provided a feature to deal with this problem, called "Protect IP address in calls". By turning on this feature, your IP address will be hidden from the person calling you, making it difficult to track your location. This feature routes the calls coming on WhatsApp directly through the WhatsApp server, making it difficult to track your location. Let us tell you how you can enable it. 

How to turn on the setting:
Open WhatsApp on your phone and go to Settings. After this, tap on the Privacy option. Then scroll down the screen and click on Advanced option. Here, turn on the Protect IP Address in Calls feature. By turning on this setting, your privacy will be protected and no one will be able to track your location.
