If you send your place through Air Drop, your recipient’s device has to support Air Drop and the feature must be activated on both devices. Also, both of you have to be in close proximity of each other. If you share a location via Air Drop, you cannot add a comment.

The Email option might be your option of choice if you need sighted assistance, because it not only includes links to your location to open in all of the supported apps, but it also displays a map of where you are right in the message and a Google Street View picture of the direction your phone was pointing in when you shared your location. This gives your sighted assistance more information right away than if you used any of the other options.

When you double-tap the Email button, a message containing all links and pictures will open. Type your friend’s address or select the information from your contacts. If you wish, you can also add your own message before sending the Email.

If you use any of the other options, BlindSquare will ask you if you want to send a link to your location opening in BlindSquare, Foursquare, Apple Maps, Google Maps, or if you only want to share address information of your selected place. If you are not sure which of the supported apps your recipient owns, or if they do not own an Apple device, you can always select Google Maps, because the map will also open in any web browser.

When you select Text Message, a text message containing the selected link type or information will open. Add the recipient and send it either through iMessage, if your contact owns an Apple device or as a regular text message if they do not.

If WhatsApp is installed on your device, it will also appear in the list of sharing options. Double-tap it to open a WhatsApp message, add your recipient and send your message.

The Clipboard option will copy the selected information to your clipboard so you can insert it into any edit field and share it using apps not supported by BlindSquare.
