Hi, Bro whenever I receive a google map link in WhatsApp and when I click the link, it opens a web version rather than google map app. Then I press the “open app” button which in top right corner of web version, It taking me to App Store page. I am clueless now please help


hi bro, when we click on open app, it should open the google map directly. instead, try this once. tap on share sheet icon at the bottom of safari page, do you see open in google maps option?

Dear Robin bro,

I tried the way you told, but i don’t see the google map icon after I press share in the safari browser.

Please help me sir

hi bro, try this uninstall and install google maps app once again. restart iPhone and check the same safari link whether google maps is opening or not. also check share sheet whether you can see open in google maps option or not.

Hi bro, as you said I installed the google maps . Now it’s working.

But unfortunately I deleted the location history or timeline not showing old data. How to retrieve old timeline

Good to know bro. about location history, they are normally stored in our google account, have you logged in with your google account in google maps?
