Solution

  • Since, there is no documentation available to share geo location to whatsapp. You can share a location with WhatsApp through the custom URL scheme. (**Note Geo location send as strings). 

    NSString *geoMessage = @"geo:23.1097,-82.4094"; //parse your geolocation here
NSString *whatsappURLString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"whatsapp://send?text=%@", geoMessage];
NSURL *whatsappURL = [NSURL URLWithString:whatsappURLString];

if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:whatsappURL]) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:whatsappURL];
} else {
// WhatsApp not installed
}

    For more info, see WhatsApp's FAQ page about the custom URL scheme: http://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/iphone/23559013
