When a user shares a geolocation, they will have the option to set their destination. So the interlocutor will receive a notification and will know that you have arrived. This is helpful when you've made an appointment or are worried that a friend or family member is coming home late.

The feature will also work with NameDrop, a new feature that allows you to quickly transfer your phone number, name, and profile photo. Also, iOS 17 will allow you to transfer large files over the network when there is no time to stay in the Bluetooth range until the transfer is completed.
