Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for monitoring and updating a real-time communication session using location data of computer devices within the real-time communication session. The systems and methods receives location data of multiple client devices in the real-time communication session using one or more location sensors on the client device and determines that a first client device and a second client device in the real-time communication session are within a pre-configured distance. In response to determining that the first client device and the second client device are within the pre-configured physical distance, the systems and methods causes display of an updated communication session user interface on the plurality of client devices, the updated communication user interface displaying an indication that the first client device and the second client device are within the pre-configured physical distance.
