Sharing Maps ETA suddenly sends text message I updated to new IOS 17.1 on my iPhone, and that's when this problem started to occur. Normally, when I share my ETA on Maps the recipient receives a notification from Maps to access my ETA as well as my route. Now that I updated my iPhone, sharing my ETA sends the same Maps notification to the recipient but now also sends a text that reads "I will arrive at [location] around [time]. I'll let you know if I'm running late." I do not want it to send any texts on my behalf and would like to disable that function. I haven't been able to find this issue online nor have I found a way to turn off texts when looking in settings. I am hoping that others have found a way!

Why Does Flight Tracking Not Work in IMessage? I travel a lot and this is my preferred method of tracking my husband’s and I flights. When the flight number is sent it literally just says preview not available since updating to the new IOS. Apple we want that feature back! And please do not comment one of your generic replies if you don’t understand the feature we the Apple users are accustomed to.

Location not updating & iMessage not delivered Hi, What setting is employed when a phone call rings through as normal but location (via Share my Location) isn’t updating and iMessages aren’t delivered? All messages are delivered once whatever setting is turned off. Thank you!
