Background continuous access to a users live location

Question

I want my TG bot to have continuous access to a user’s live location. Is this possible?

I understand that TG can be given continuous access - but it seems to me that this privilege is not relayed to bots running on TG. Is this correct?

For the record, I don’t have a problem with an additional pop up requesting for such a permission.

Answer 1

As you can see here :

sendLocation:
Use this method to send point on the map. On success, the sent Message is returned.

So the user can share it's location via bot. But you are looking for "Live Location" right? so you can do it :-)

Period in seconds for which the location will be updated (see Live Locations, should be between 60 and 86400.
86,400 Seconds / 60 Seconds = 1,440 Minutes.
1,440 Minutes / 560 Seconds = 24 Hours

So you can have live location of your user but there is only "24Hrs" limit.

Thanks in advance
