A WhatsApp live location alternative with no live stream

Quick answer

WhatsApp live location streams your moving dot inside a chat. Parages never streams; it quietly checks on your phone whether you are near a friend and taps you if so.

Sharing live location in WhatsApp means your dot moves across a chat for fifteen minutes or eight hours, and the other side can watch the whole route. Parages takes a calmer path. Rather than broadcasting movement, it keeps a private list of where friends live and nudges you when you wander close. The check runs on your phone, so there is no moving dot, no shared route, and no chat full of stale maps. You decide to reach out only once you are already nearby.

In one sentence

Parages pings you when you pass near a friend. It tracks nobody.

How it works

Add your friends

Their neighborhood, not their exact address. Only you see your list, and nothing is shared.

Live your life

No continuous tracking, no shared location. Parages sleeps in your pocket.

Get a hello

You pass near a friend, and your phone says “You’re 300 m from Thomas 👋”. Right when it matters.
