What is the difference between live and current location?
Live location on WhatsApp is a real-time location. This location starts changing as the location changes. If the smartphone user changes the location and is sharing a live location, then the location also starts changing with the phone.

Talking about the current location on WhatsApp, it is a static location. If the smartphone user changes the location, the location does not change.

When is it right to send which location?
If you want to share the location of a building, house, office, or mall, then you should send a static location or current location.
