Location sharing on Instinct
Starting today, you can share your location with Instinct on iMessage. Instinct can recognize when you arrive somewhere, and answer questions about where you’ve been.
Here are some examples of how our early alpha group uses it:
- Ordering food to your current location
- Finding a lunch spot a few minutes away based on what you like
- Guiding you through a trip itinerary in a new city
- Figuring out how to get home, including which train to catch and where to board
Instinct can also act when you enter or leave an area. You can ask it to remind you to pick up your package when you get home, or have your boarding pass ready when you arrive at the airport. These location triggers let Instinct follow up when the task becomes relevant.
Your location history also gives Instinct context to answer questions like “Where did I park?”, “How long did my bike ride take?”, or “What was that nice coffee shop around here that I went to last month?” If you’re an existing user, you can try it today by asking Instinct to request your location. If not, we’re giving access to 1000 new users who want to try it out: . If you missed it, you can join our waitlist here:
