• Steps to reproduce the problem: Tap on a contact and tap the attachment icon.

hi, yes, it was disabled for now due to Google not allowing to publish the app in Google Play because the app requested the "access location in background" permission, the feature was also not working properly anyways, it is an experimental feature, it will be fixed and added back in the future

Thanks, this makes sense. Sorry, I looked for the changelog update information, but I might have missed it.

I don't really modify the changelog (it comes from upstream Delta Chat) I created a community/forum in Lemmy where I plan to announce the changes in the releases:

It would be nice to add the map back to be able to view when someone else is streaming the location, even if sharing it isn't possible

I added the map button back in the new release 1.54.3 🎉
