To pin a location on an iPhone or iPad using Apple Maps, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Maps app, which comes pre-installed on iOS devices.
  2. Hold your finger down on any blank space on the map that does not contain a business or attraction.
  3. A red pin icon will appear, indicating the location you've chosen.
  4. An information panel will pop up, providing details such as distance, address, and GPS coordinates.
  5. Tap the blue button at the top left of the panel to navigate to the pin's location.
  6. To refine the location, tap 'Move', adjust the map view, and drag the pin to the desired spot.
  7. To share the pin, tap the three dots in the top-right corner of the information panel. Choose from various options:
    • Share the pin via Messages, Contacts, or social media platforms.
    • Copy the link to the pin and paste it into another app.
    • Save the location to a list of favorites by selecting 'Add to Favorites'.
    • Remove the pin by tapping 'Remove'.
