iOS 13 brought new features to the Maps app, including Collections for sharing favorite restaurants, travel destinations or places to shop with friends, and Favorites for navigating to frequent destinations, such as home, work, the gym or school. Let’s look at how to use the feature in iOS 16.
You can create your own collections or explore those created by others. These collections can be saved and shared with friends and family, making it easy to plan trips, outings, or simply share favorite spots.
