  3. Which mobile browsers and apps can I save articles from?

    The iOS version of MapPost supports Safari, Firefox and Chrome mobile browsers.

    We’ve also tested it with a number of popular iOS apps, such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Pocket, TikTok, TripAdvisor, Quora, Yelp, New York Times, Apple News and others.

    If your favorite app’s ‘Share’ button shows MapPost, you should be able to save to MapPost.

  4. I see 'red', 'blue' and 'green' pins on my mobile map. What’s the difference?

    Your pins are red.

    Blue pins are popular places, venues and locations, selected by MapPost or pins you view on maps shared with you by other users.

    Green pins have numbers inside them, and represent clusters of pins that are too close together to be resolved at the scale you’re viewing them.

  5. Who can see my pins?

    MapPost enables you to share your maps with other users.

    Your pins (red pins) can only be viewed by other users when you allow them to follow you.

  6. What are ‘Collections’?

    MapPost’s Collections enable you to create multiple maps, each with their own pinned destinations, helping you better manage your saved destinations and their associated articles & posts. You can select which collections to share with other users and which to keep private.

  7. Can I see who is using MapPost?

    To protect user privacy, it is only possible to see a user’s ‘display’ name (which is under user control). It is not possible to see a user’s real name or their email address.

  8. How do I delete my pins and/or articles from MapPost?

    You can delete your pins and/or articles today when you are logged into your MapPost account using a desktop/laptop browser.

    You can also delete your pins and/or articles on the iOS mobile app by editing them in the Master Map found in your Collections folder.

    You can delete pins from any of your maps without deleting it from your other maps or the Master Map.

    You’ll also, soon, be able to delete them inside the Android app.

  9. What if I see something inappropriate?

    If you see something you think is inappropriate (e.g., obscene, racist, pornographic or otherwise inappropriate), please report this to MapPost immediately.
