New Maps feature comes to iPhone via web

Apple Maps

Apple has rolled out an exciting update for iPhone users! As of April 9, 2025, you can now use Maps right from the web. This means you don’t always need the app to find your way—it’s available online too. The feature, called “Maps on the Web,” started as a test last year and is now ready for everyone.

With this update, you can check directions, look up places, and explore locations straight from your browser. Whether you’re planning a trip or just curious about a spot, it’s super easy. You can search for stores, restaurants, or landmarks and get details like hours, phone numbers, and even reviews.

Plus, if you need to move around the map, zooming and panning work smoothly. One cool part? It connects with your iPhone perfectly. If you’re signed into your Apple ID, you can send directions from the web to your phone with just a tap. Need to share a location with a friend?

You can copy a link and send it their way. It’s all about making things simple and fast. For now, this works in English and on browsers like Safari, Chrome, and Edge. Apple says more languages and features are coming soon, so keep an eye out!

This update is great for anyone who wants quick access to maps without opening the app—or if you’re on a computer and still want that iPhone connection. This move shows Apple’s push to make its tools more open and easy to use. Whether you’re at home or on the go, “Maps on the Web” brings navigation right to your fingertips. Try it out and see how it fits into your day!
