Facebook began rolling out this update for Messenger users today, but did not say when the feature would be available to all. Of course, if a user has disabled location services within Messenger, this new location sharing feature will not be accessible.

Anyone concerned with privacy may want to completely disable location services. However, and quite logically, Facebook will not be able to share your location with a friend, unless you expressly authorize the action. Facebook says it will not track the location of a user in the background, if the Messenger app is not active.
If you prefer to disable location sharing in iOS, you can navigate to "Settings> Privacy> Location> Services" and change the option for Facebook Messenger to "Never." If you are using an Android device, simply open the Settings tab within the app, and select "Location".
