Me neither. Should be found in General settings on iPhone, rather than via Google Maps (seems to be the only way, from what I can tell?)

  Open Maps, long click your location to drop a marker. The “marked location” panel shows your coordinates. Drag it towards the top of the screen to see it

  Use the built-in Compass app.

  The compass app has your coordinates. You can also share your current location with other iMessage users (maybe SMS users, not sure) if you have location sharing enabled, it can be enabled to send your coordinates to other people (I think the options are permanent, 24 hours, and 1 hour).

    I just opened the compass app on my iPhone and I don't see any coordinates there. I'm on 13.7; maybe this is a recent change to the app?

      A quick google search suggests that the feature has been around since at least iOS 11 (and I'm confident much earlier, but that was the version I got results for on the first page of my google search, I'm not digging deeper), but you need location services turned on. Check that, then disable again if you don't want location services on by default.

      The info I have in a non-sharable google doc is as follows: iPhone GPS Location (4s and recent) This document will give you a step by step procedure to retrieve the GPS location of a lost person using the “Compass” tool. In order to use this tool, the iPhone owner must enable some privacy settings which may be “on” by default. If you cannot get the GPS coordinates from Compass, go to the “Troubleshooting” section. Asking for GPS Coordinates First ask the lost person to launch the compass application on their iPhone. If the person does not know what it is, provide them the following instruction: Put a single finger in the middle of the phone’s screen and swipe down all in one move. This will bring out the “Spotlight Search” tool. Ask them to type “Compass”. This will bring up the “Compass” tool into view as seen below: Ask them to select the “Compass” application in order to launch it Once launched, if the word “Calibrate” appears on the screen (as seen below), the user has to initialize the application. Let him know he needs to move and rotate the phone until calibration is done. Once calibrated, the user should see the coordinates at the bottom of the screen. If the coordinates are not there, go to the troubleshooting section and restart this process from step 1. Troubleshooting Be aware that only iPhone 4s and more recent are equipped with a GPS chipset. All older iPhone will not be able to provide you with GPS coordinates. In order for the “Compass” application to provide the GPS coordinate, it needs to be authorized to communicate with the GPS component of the phone. To ensure this authorization is set, follow these steps: Ask the person to launch their iPhone settings From the main “Setting” page, have them select “Privacy” From the “Privacy” section select “Location Services”. Under the “Location Services” section, the “Location Services” setting should be “on” (or green) and the “Compass” entry should report “While Using”.

    The trouble with the Compass app is that it's infrequently used, so will usually be automatically offloaded and will need to be downloaded again when you're lost with limited internet access.

      Huh? IPhone does that, just remove unused apps from the device?
      • js2 6y ago
        It's optional.

      if that isn't some microoptimization. how much space can a compass app waste compared to your average bloated app?
      • _Microft 6y ago
        As far as I remember this feature needs to be activated by the user. It also applies to other rarely used apps (the compass app is not treated differently) and only happens once the phone is low on storage.

  On iOS, you can scroll up on your photo when looking at it in Photos, and it should show you a location if it's available.
