One important advantage of having Nimbuzz on your phone is that you can use the Location Sharing feature to keep in touch with your family and friends in real time.

Sure, we all love to talk, chat and message for free using Nimbuzz, but the location feature takes us one step further bringing us closer to dear ones. No need to have a scheduled meeting to enjoy a coffee with a friend, just go through your mobile Nimbuzz buddies that are online, and see who is closer to you by retrieving their location.

The Nimbuzz Location Sharing feature is also great for worried parents. You want to know where your “little one” is? Well … just go in to your contact list and retrieve his location on the map. He is not online? No problem just send him a Buzz to get him on line. It’s as easy as that.

At times, we can all sympathize with the author, Danielle Steel’s quote, “It’s hard being visible, so I’ve made myself invisible.” In case you ever want to be there (from a distance), and just observe, Nimbuzz understands.

With the new “Appear Offline/Invisible” login option, your status will be changed to offline/away automatically, without any extra clicking.
