This article will explain how to drop a pin on your iPhone to ensure that you never misplace your location. Additionally, you can reserve spots for personalized maps and directions and share exact locations with your friends.
How to Drop a Pin In Apple Maps
- From the Home screen, launch the iPhone Maps app. When the screen first loads, a blue pin marks your current location.
- Hold the button down while tapping the place where you want to drop a pin.
- If nothing displays on the screen, you might need to zoom in on the map to determine an accurate position.
- To obtain a satellite view of the selected location, select Edit Place.
- Using Apple Maps, Dropping a Pin.
- To position the pin accurately, you can move the image around or simply click Done if you’re satisfied with the placement.
Make Apple Maps Favorite Pins
If you want to use the marked location later, add it to your Favorites in the Maps app by marking it. The inability of Apple Maps to locate it makes finding it more accessible.
- Pick the pin from the maps.
- Swipe up after tapping the Marked Location pane.
- Go to Favorites > Add. By default, the location’s name will be whatever address or landmark is closest.
Use iPhone Maps to View Favorite Places
- To access the search bar, swipe up from the bottom of the Maps screen.

- Pick a location to display it on the map. To modify the location’s name and other information, click the Info icon.
How To Share Pins
Apple Maps allows you to share your position and dropped pins with other users. The Share option, Apple Maps Street View, and Apple Map Connect are on the same screen as the Favorite option.
- Pick a favorite spot or click an Apple Maps car pin.
- Swipe up after tapping the Marked Location pane.
- Select “Share.”
- Select Message to send an SMS or iMessage with the location and directions attached.
