Signal-android: Option to send my location with messages

I have:


Bug description

I want to know where my kid is.
It would be amazing if there will be an option for each group/contact "Send my location info to this contact/group". By checking this option Signal will send info about location with messages and the person who receives the message will see a small marker right after the text/image/content of message.
User clicks on it and google map opens showing the location.
I am not sure if it's good to send info with every message (and not needed i believe!) so let it send info with every 10th message starting from the first. "Starting from the first" I also mean if time interval from the last message is more than 1 min send the location.

Screenshots

How it may looks like:

Do your family members want this too? I think this is not something the average Signal user wants, not even as opt-in.

You can already send your location. Open the attachment drawer by tapping the blue paper clip icon and then choose location.

I want this to be done automatically so you don't need to do this explicitly.
I want to know where my family members are when they sending.
