Share Your Estimated Arrival Time on iPhone and Android for a More Considerate Commute
Apple Maps and Google Maps allow users to share their estimated time of arrival (ETA) with others, providing a convenient way to notify friends and family without needing constant check-ins. Both platforms offer built-in tools for sending live arrival updates.
Apple Maps and Google Maps now offer a feature to share estimated time of arrival (ETA) with others, allowing users to update their expected arrival times without needing to constantly send location updates, providing a more convenient alternative for sharing travel plans. The feature can be accessed through the app's settings or map view on both iPhone and Android devices. Users can set an ETA by selecting their current location and estimated arrival time, which will then be sent to others with whom they have shared their location. This new functionality aims to strike a balance between keeping others informed about travel plans without relying on constant communication.
