Okay, it’s Fall of 2020, and someday you’re going to be flying or driving to visit an iPhone-using friend again. I promise this will happen!
Sometimes people get anxious about what time they’re supposed to meet, or if everyone will be there on time – so you can reduce anxiety related to arrival time or pickup plans by sharing your location (but just temporarily) so others can watch your progress as you make your way to them.
The easiest way to do this is to go into a Messages conversation with that person on your iPhone, tap their picture at the top, tap the i button that appears, tap Share My Location, and then tap either Share for One Hour or Share Until End of Day, whichever is best for you.
They can then see where you are by going into the same Messages conversation, tapping your name, and then tapping the i button. And, of course, if you’re coordinating an airport pickup, it’s a help if the other person shares their location with you too!
Have a great trip!
