Is it possible to ask Siri to mark my location while driving?

Is it possible to ask Siri to mark my location WHILE DRIVING? I’ve tried “drop a pin” and “mark my location” and she says she can’t do that. First, why not? Second, am I asking the wrong question.

Why does Siri require my location when searching for information about a different place? Why does Siri need “my location” when I ask it for specific information about a different location. I should not have to turn on Location services when searching for information about a different location than mine. I usually just get frustrated and find a different less convenient way. Isn’t Apple supposed to be easier and convenient?? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Siri near by suggestions based on third party providers without consent Hi, I got a new iphone and an App Clip (I think that's what it was called) was added automatically to my home screen. I was very surprised to see that I got location (!) based advertisement form uber eats without prompting consent. How is it possible that my location is handed to third party services without my consent? I would like to have an explanation where I agreed to those terms. Furthermore, it was very unclear how to turn this off in the settings. For example since I don't have uber eats installed, it doesn't show up in the Siri notifications pannel. There was a very small option to turn it off directly in the App clip. However, I could not find where I can control this behavior within the Settings to potentially check for any other location leaks. I find this very concerning and I was very disappointed to find out how loosely Apple is dealing with my privacy. I was also surprised that this was raised here but quickly swept under the carpet. In case my description was unclear, the screenshot posted in the linked issue are valid. Best

I checked and I don't think Siri can do that yet. However, you might want to check out writing a Shortcut that uses Get Current Location (set it to Nearest Ten Meters or Best) and saving it to a Notes entry (Append to Notes). I checked if you can drop a pin on the map instead, but so far that isn't possible via Shortcuts.

Sorry, not the answer you are looking for.

Good luck.
