How to Share ETA on Apple Maps

Author: Swagata | Guide: iPhone |

Although sharing your precise position immediately from your iPhone is convenient, it doesn't tell the other person how long it will take you to arrive home. When you say you'll be home in an hour, people automatically anticipate you'll be there in 50 to 90 minutes, depending on you and the traffic.
