Why I cannot grant "Allow all the time" location permission to Whatsapp? I have a Pixel 4 and Android 10 stock, and the system only offers me these options for location permission of this app:


Allow only while the app is in use
Deny


But there is no "Allow all the time".

I want to share my location for a few hours to a friend using Whatsapp, and I'm afraid that it won't work without that permission.

I guess Google removed that option for that particular application, other apps have it enabled. Is that right?

PS: I'am aware of who owns Whatsapp and their issues.
So here is the problem: the latest (non-beta) WhatsApp is set up with a target platform of Android 10, but the developers failed to include a request for 
ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION in the manifest.xml file in the apk. This is a problem because this is a new permission introduced in Android 10 and any app not requesting it which also targets Android 10 is assumed to not want background location access
