Currently, iPhone users can only see driving, walking, or biking directions turn dark at night. Not anymore. Just like on Android, Google Maps on iOS will be available in dark mode all the time. The option should be available in the app's settings in the coming weeks.

The update includes another feature Android users already have: real-time location sharing in texts.

Google Maps users could share their location on iMessage before — but if they moved, their friends would be out of luck. Now, iPhone users will be able to share their real-time location for as long as three days. The default will be one hour. That could be useful at big outdoor concerts and other events where people are constantly moving around.
