what3words app v4.7: shared lists and widget

Shared lists

Lists are an easy way to share recommendations and useful locations with friends, family, hobby groups and teams. Share a list with your top foodie tips in an area, plan a trip with friends, or organise activities around specific locations. All you need to do is generate a link in the app and share it.

When someone sends you a link, you can decide whether you want to make a copy of the list so you can add your own locations to it, or follow it so you’re able to see the creator’s updates.
