Live - React Native Background Location Tracking in Android

Edit (10th Feb 2024):
It’s been ages since I wrote this blog and created this video, it’s still garnering views and people are reaching out.
I will be writing a follow up blog on a product I have built, which enables users to share their live location (just like WhatsApp) for both Android and iOS and as well as stream it to your own personal web servers using a web-hook.

If you’re interested in getting an early paid access to it, please fill the below form, i will get in touch with you over email.
