iOS: If you tend to look for locations on your desktop more often than your phone, Google’s rolled out a handy feature for iOS that lets you send location searches from the desktop version of Google Maps to your iPhone in a click.
Once enabled, you can instantly send any location from your desktop computer to your iOS device as long as they’re signed into the same account by clicking on the “Send to Device” button on the desktop version after searching for a location. To use the feature, you’ll need to enable it on your iOS device first:
Open up Google Maps on iOS and make sure you’re logged into your Google account
Tap the Settings menu and open up Settings
Tap Notifications
Make sure the “Sent from desktop maps” option is enabled and notifications are enabled for Google Maps
With that, you should see the “Send to Device” option in Google Maps on your desktop. If not, try logging out and logging back in again. The same feature’s been in Android since April.
