Bug description
When attempting to share a location today using the option within signal, the first line of the address was not added to the link for Apple Maps causing a person I shared an address with to drive to the town center rather then the business I selected.
Steps to reproduce
- Tap the '+' button in a chat.
- Tap 'Location.'
- Type in the search field 'Essmann's Cabinetry & Millwork' then tap on the address that appears below.
- Tap the blue send arrow next to the name that appears on the map.
Actual result:
The first line of the address is not included in the Apple Maps link. When a user taps on the Apple Maps link they are directed to the Town of Germantown instead of Essmann's.
Expected result:
Apple Maps opens with directions to Essmann's.
