Today we are going to explain how to send our location via iMessage, just as we can do in other instant messaging applications such as WhatsApp , Line , Viber
Surely many of you have ever wondered, how is it possible that we can't send our location through the APPLE message app? Well yes, if you can send our location by iMessage.
Simply using the native MAP application, we can share our location or send any location we want.
HOW TO SEND OUR LOCATION BY IMESSAGE:
We have two options, as we mentioned before, to send the location:
- Send the current location where we are
- Send a location selected by us.
Send current location:
To send our location, we simply have to press the share button (square with an up arrow) located in the bottom menu of the screen:
After this, we will have to select the option « CURRENT LOCATION «.
Once clicked, the different platforms where we can share our location will appear. In this case we will choose the "MESSAGE" option, which will give us the possibility of sending the location by iMessage or by message.
Then we will be able to share our location by iMessage and send it to the contacts we want and who have this service. If they don't have iMessage , it will be sent to them as an SMS (if you don't have the service configured properly).
Send selected location:
Many are the cases in which we want to share a place where we are not, but that can help your contacts to reach a certain place. Who hasn't had to go to a chalet in a place they don't know, to celebrate a birthday? Or, who has not gone to that store where they sell a certain product at a very good price?
To be able to send the location by iMessage of those certain places, we simply have to enter the MAP app, search for the location we want to send and keep our finger pressed in the correct place, until a lilac marker appears.
Next we will have to share (square button with an arrow pointing up, located at the bottom of the screen).
In the two options that appear, we will select « SELECTED LOCATION «, and then we will click on the platform in which we want to share that location, in this case it would be the « MESSAGE « option.
In both cases the same steps are followed, the only thing that varies is the location we want to send.
We hope with this tutorial, we have helped you to learn something more about your iOS device.
