Hi @Geeman

In iOS, the activity starter is not its own component. It’s in the control blocks, the second block from the bottom “open link”. See screenshot below.

Thank you but could you help me with how I would use this to send a address to google maps or iPhone maps to navigate to it.

Hi there. To open your Google Maps app to a specific address, you can use this block below:
