Arranging to meet a friend who lives across the city always involves the same back-and-forth: 'Is that convenient for you?' A meet in the middle shortcut for iPhone calculates the geographic midpoint between your current location and your friend's address, then suggests nearby cafes, restaurants, or parks — so you can suggest a fair, convenient meeting point in seconds.
Enter your starting location and the other person's location. The shortcut calculates the geographic midpoint between the two addresses and opens Apple Maps showing that location. From there you can search for nearby venues directly in Maps to find a convenient meeting spot for both parties.
Go to getturin.com and describe your shortcut (e.g., 'Find the midpoint between my location and an address I enter').
Wait a few seconds for Turin's AI to build the midpoint finder shortcut.
Tap the 'Install' button to add it directly to your Apple Shortcuts app.
Find a location that's genuinely equidistant rather than defaulting to whoever suggests first.
Get the midpoint in seconds without manually estimating or using multiple map queries.
The midpoint location opens directly in Apple Maps so you can explore nearby options immediately.
