Straight to the point with no filler. Exactly as it should be. You should do a tutorial on how to do a tutorial. Far too many people go way off track in their failed attempts to share knowledge during tutorials. Don't give me your life story I just want to know how to catch the A-train from Penn

Great work straight the point. Save me a lot of time seeking it on my own, just the way it's suppose to be, thanks Andy !!

[jessicaparks]

Straight to the point and simple! Thank you

[kent]

Great vid! To the point without a bunch of preamble and advertising!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! FYI—In the iPhone Messages app you can also send your location by typing “I’m at” then it automatically pops up!

[NickArnette]

Great video. You get right to the point. I wish more content creators would follow your style.

[helainegaray]

Dude! Thank you so much! Such an easy thing to do, which ISN'T, when you don't know what to do!

[georgogiannakis]

Thanks for the help 👍🏼. Also great straightforward video

[debfrazin]

Easy, and straight to the point - thx!

[LanakilaMiller]

Thanks for the simple explanation and screen guidance to show how this is done. I’ve had iPhones for years now and could never figure out how to do this with my parents or caregiver for my safety.

How do you go back and navigate to a pin? I have set pins at locations of river access for fishing locations, but now I can't find any of them?

[andrewoldham]

Hi all of that made perfect sense but i have just heard drop a pin in the context of finding someone with no fixed location can you possibly explain how this works please

[casandra]

Great thank you!!! I have one problem, when someone sends me a photo in a text I want to send it to my laptop, and save it and send it to my cricut design space. But I don’t know how. I just want to transfer photos from text messages to my laptop. Please please 😭😤😓🤯😳🤬

Is it possible to create a map that has saved pins for a group of 30 people but no one else?

I am a cable guy...want to create a map I can share with only coworkers that shares good cable testing locations around the city?

[CROWSLAW]

Ok but if I drop a pin on a random spot like up a driveway or in a parking lot it will not let you share it.

[felicity]

You are only talking about iphones what about other phone users for instant android not every uses iphones

[HuntingMuddinglife]

OK, but my friend pinned my iPhone without me sharing my location to him. How does that work?

[TheJamaicanMEmad]

Do i have to pull up in that bullet coupe spaceship to?

[GaryGrube]

Does this work on REAL phones, like android phones?

[bakerfieldchristophee]

Can I or cant I do the same thing on a cheap android phone?

[souocaraable]

I don't have an iPhone so I tried it in Google maps and it seemed to work exactly the same way. In my case I'm not at the location so I tapped on the place that I wanted to send to the other person
