Micro Social v1.6.5 introduces the ability to add locations to your posts, simplifying the process of sharing where you are with the community.

How to Add a Location

  • Start a New Post: Begin composing a new post.
  • Access Location Options: Tap the three dots icon to open additional options.
  • Choose Add Location: Select the “Add a Location” option.
  • Search for Location: Use the search bar to find your desired location. You can also use your current device location to refine the search results through Apple Maps.
  • Confirm and Post: Once you select a location, its name and a map pin will appear at the start of your post.

Privacy Information

Micro Social does not collect any personal data, including your location. All location data processing happens on your device, controlled by Apple Maps. You have control over what information is included with your post:

  • Coordinates: Send the precise coordinates of the location.
  • Location URL: Share a link to the location.
  • No Data: Choose not to include any location data with your post.
  • Micro Social optimises the display of location-tagged posts in your timeline for a cleaner view and easier interaction, all while keeping your privacy protected through on-device processing.

Quick Location Check-in (Long Press)

For faster posting, you can long press the Floating Action Button (FAB) when it’s active. This allows you to quickly check in at a location or post a photo without navigating through the full new post screen.
