About This Feature

Overview

Location Message is a built-in messaging feature in WPS Office for Android collaboration chats. It lets you send your current location or a searched place in a one-to-one chat, then shows the result as a location card with a place name, detailed address, and map preview.

Core capabilities include:

Send a location message: Open the location page from the chat input area, choose your current location or a searched place, and send it.
View and interact with a location card: Check the place name, address, and map thumbnail in chat, then open the location details page.

This feature is useful for meetups, on-site coordination, visitor guidance, and other situations where both sides need to confirm a place quickly.

Capability Summary	In Android collaboration one-to-one chats, WPS lets you open the location page from the + menu, send your current location or a searched place, and show it as a card with a place name, address, and map preview.	The official Teams page mainly explains location permissions, location detection, and emergency location settings. Its public help page does not present the same chat-focused location card sending flow described here.	Google Messages supports sharing real-time location in chats and lets users choose a sharing duration.	Notion officially supports page sharing, permissions, and link sharing, but it does not provide a native chat-based location message feature.	Acrobat for Android supports file links, copies, and review sharing, but it does not provide a chat-based location message feature.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS sends a static place card directly inside a one-to-one chat, with a focused entry path that works well for quickly sharing a meetup location.	Compared with WPS: Teams documentation here is centered on app-level location permissions and emergency location handling, so the chat location-sharing flow is less direct in the cited page.	Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes live location with duration controls; WPS is more suitable when you only need to send a clear place card without continuous sharing.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on page collaboration and permissions rather than native location messaging in chat.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on file sharing and review workflows instead of location messaging.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to send a clear place inside a collaboration chat, WPS offers a straightforward location-card workflow for everyday meetup and visitor guidance scenarios. Google focuses more on live location sharing, while the official capabilities highlighted by Notion and Adobe are centered on different collaboration models.
