Share Your Location Through Mesaging on iPad

Send a location / Share destinations with others

It’s time to get the message: Messages is a flexible and intuitive way to quickly send messages to your contacts wherever you are.

When using Messages, you can do so much more than simply send vanilla text messages to your contacts. For starters, you can also share locations with others. Recipients only needs to tap your message to map the location, allowing them to quickly find the place you are highlighting.

To share locations, launch the Maps app and then input a location. Tap the red or blue dot for details of the location and tap Share in the top right-hand corner. Now select the Message option.

You will then have to enter which contact you wish to send the data to and you can even attach text to go with it, explaining why you are sending them the location in the first place.
