Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries people share their location through WhatsApp, Telegram, or native map apps. The informal ‘tú’ form is perfectly natural with friends, but with strangers or in a professional setting you’d use the formal imperative ‘comparta’ (e.g., ‘Comparta su ubicación con un amigo’). Also, remember that ‘ubicación’ is more common in tech contexts, while ‘posición’ is used in everyday speech.
