Google Maps Update for Android, iOS Brings New Sharing Features and More

Google has updated the Google Maps app on both iOS and Android, bringing them to version 4.8.0 and version 9.1 respectively. The update for iOS introduces a new feature which will allow sharing location pins to Facebook and Messenger. On Android, users will now be able to share Maps and toggle a full screen mode which removes unused items, like a search bar. The iOS update is already out but you will have to wait a little more for the Android one.

On the Android side of things, the Google Maps v9.1 update allows users to remove unnecessary elements like the search bar or quick launch for directions, thereby making it easier to read with a single tap. A single tap once again brings those elements back again in an instant.
