You can go to download WeChat app from Apple App Store, Google Play Store or other app markets. You can also get the download links directly from WeChat official website here, http://www.wechat.com/en/download.html.
Launch WeChat app on your mobile phone, switch to the WeChat tab from the bottom on your screen, then tap to open your chat window with the person you like to send your location to or share you location info with. You will get a screen like below.

For example, you can share videos on mobile phones using WeChat from here or make free video calls and voice calls using WeChat and many others useful functions can be found here. Find the Location icon and tap on it, you will get a screen as shown in below screenshot.
Now you have the options to send your location or share your real-time location with friends or family in WeChat. The Send Location option is to send your current location on the map to someone you like to share your location info with. Once you choose it, you will open the map with your current position or location marked on it, you can then send it directly to your friends on WeChat. Also you can find nearby places, such as restaurants, bars, bus stations and more below the map, so you can quickly pick up a known location in the map to share with your friends. You can also manually search somewhere in the map and send it to your friends. So not only your current location can be shared using this way, you can virtually share any location on the map. Real-time Location in Wechat works differently. When you enable the real-time location sharing feature in WeChat, you will actually send a location sharing request to your friend, so they can join the location sharing on mobile phones, anyone joined in the real-time location sharing can see other’s location in real time until he or she ends the location sharing in WeChat. It is very convenient to help you find people using your smart phone.
