How do I put a pin on Google Maps on an iPhone or Android phone?

Dropping a pin on Google Maps is the same whether you’re using an iPhone or an Android phone.

What you need to do is:

1. Open the Google Maps app.
2. Find the spot where you want to place the pin and zoom in so you can see it clearly.
3. Tap and hold where you want to drop the pin until you see a pin under your finger.
4. You have successfully created a Pin.

On mobile devices (including iPhone, iPad, and Android phones), you can use the search bar to drop pins.

Each of the pinned places can be saved as a starred or tagged place.

Here’s how to find them again later.

It’s a great way to mark destinations you want to visit or maybe where you parked your car.

Alternatively, you can put a pin with Google Maps on the desktop.

In addition:

• Open Google Maps on your computer.
• Find the place you want to pin and zoom in to see it clearly.
• Click where you want the pin to fall and you should see a small gray pin appear and a small info box will appear at the bottom.
