## Ask Current Location Card

This typically includes a clear call-to-action, such as a button labeled "Share Location," which, when tapped, triggers WhatsApp's built-in location sharing feature. This functionality is especially useful for services that rely on location-based data to enhance customer support, delivery, or local service offerings.
