Apple Maps Share ETA App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — Share ETA, Share Arrival Time, Live ETA Sharing & 分享到达时间 / 共享预计到达时间 zh-Hans Copy
Your iOS navigation, family, or travel app markets Apple Maps Share ETA on the product page — share arrival time, share estimated time of arrival, live ETA sharing with contacts while navigating, or gallery frames that show the Maps Share ETA sheet, contact picker, and live arrival-time updates on an active route — and the US listing looks polished.
Open the same app on the China storefront and buyers still land on an English product page.
Title, subtitle, description, and screenshot overlays that read "Share ETA", "Share Arrival Time", or "Share Estimated Time of Arrival" in Latin script while Apple Maps on Chinese iPhones labels the same feature 分享到达时间, 共享预计到达时间, or 预计到达时间.
Shipping Share ETA or live arrival-time sharing in the binary does not auto-fill a Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) localization row.
AppLocale writes paste-ready zh-Hans listing copy for those Connect fields — not Share ETA API wiring, not Contacts or Messages integration engineering, not before-and-after Share ETA screenshot production.
Operator guidance only — no ranking guarantee, not legal advice, not investment advice. Seller: Fortune Insight, LLC.
Western indie iOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:
Ship a navigation, family coordination, ride-share companion, or travel app that markets Apple Maps Share ETA, share arrival time, or live ETA sharing with contacts while navigating as a buyer-facing feature — tap Share ETA on an active route, pick a contact, and send live estimated arrival updates
Finished the en-US listing — name, subtitle, keywords, description, and Share ETA screenshot captions — and passed US App Review
Already support Share ETA deep links, navigation companion flows, or complementary live arrival-time sharing workflows in the app (not looking for Share ETA API or Messages integration engineering help here)
Enabled the China storefront but the zh-Hans product page still shows English copy or untranslated Share ETA badge lines on screenshots
Need paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields — not an engineer for Contacts or Messages share-sheet APIs, not a designer to re-render Share ETA PNGs, not MapKit directions or Check In safety marketing copy as the hero
If your gallery leads with turn-by-turn directions, nearby-place lists, or route preview UI — not Share ETA or live arrival-time sharing — see MapKit listing (zh-Hans) — 地图 / 导航 is directions-first; ETA chips on route panels are secondary UI detail there, not Share ETA as the lead. If safety Check In, periodic trip check-ins, or notify-when-I-arrive safety alerts dominate the page, see Check In listing (zh-Hans) — 安全签到 / 行程报平安 is safety-first, not Apple Maps Share ETA during active navigation. If your story is Find My item tracking or AirTag locate workflows, see Find My listing (zh-Hans). If EV Routing with charging stops is the hero, see EV Routing listing (zh-Hans). If Look Around, Offline Maps, or Parking Location dominates, see Look Around, Offline Maps, or Parking Location listing guides.
Share ETA engineering vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs
Teams assume Apple's Share ETA rollout covers storefront language. Xcode, system frameworks, and Connect actually separate in-app live arrival-time sharing from product-page copy:
Apple Maps Share ETA — Apple Maps feature that lets users share estimated arrival time with contacts while navigating an active route. Controls live ETA update behavior on device — not App Store language.
Contacts & Messages integration — frameworks and system share sheets some apps use to deliver Share ETA payloads, deep links, or live arrival-time update cards to trusted contacts. Your listing may mention Share ETA; wiring Contacts pickers and Messages delivery is engineering work, not Connect metadata.
Share ETA sheet & live update UI — separate in-app or system surfaces where buyers tap Share ETA, select a contact, and send live estimated arrival updates during navigation. Listing copy explains those buyer benefits; share-sheet and ETA update wiring is outside AppLocale scope.
Location permissions & navigation background modes — NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription and active-route location for live ETA recalculation. Entitlements and routing wiring are platform work — distinct from the zh-Hans description paragraph that explains Share ETA to buyers.
Pricing and Availability → China — makes the app downloadable on the China App Store. Separate from language rows.
App Store tab → Chinese (Simplified) localization — independent row for title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, screenshots, and caption lines. Empty or English here means China buyers see English fallback regardless of Share ETA support in the binary.
A working Share ETA story and a localized China listing are both required when you sell on the China storefront — neither replaces the other.
Share ETA vs MapKit directions vs Check In vs Find My vs EV Routing vs Look Around vs Offline Maps vs Parking Location — do not conflate
US/EU indie teams often merge eight Maps and safety string families. This page covers product-page listing copy that markets Apple Maps Share ETA — live arrival-time sharing with contacts while navigating — not turn-by-turn directions hub copy, not safety Check In workflows, and not item tracking:
Share ETA & live arrival-time sharing marketing (this page) — paragraphs and frame text explaining "Share ETA", "Apple Maps Share ETA", "Share Arrival Time", "Share Estimated Time of Arrival", "Live ETA sharing", "Share My ETA", 分享到达时间, 共享预计到达时间, 预计到达时间, and 分享 ETA. Active route → tap Share ETA → pick contact → live arrival updates.
MapKit directions listing copy (different) — in-app maps, turn lists, nearby places, route previews: Maps, Directions, Nearby, 地图, 导航, 附近. Directions and discovery hub — ETA chips on route panels may appear as secondary UI detail, not Share ETA with contacts as the hero. Covered on our MapKit guide.
Check In & safety arrival notifications (different) — safety Check In, periodic trip check-ins, notify-when-I-arrive safety alerts, 安全签到, 行程报平安, 到达通知. Proactive safety workflows — not Apple Maps Share ETA during active turn-by-turn navigation. Covered on our Check In guide.
Safety Check shared-access review (different) — Safety Check emergency data and shared-access review workflows — not Share ETA live arrival-time sharing. See Safety Check listing (zh-Hans).
Find My listing copy (different) — item and AirTag tracking with Find My network and Lost Mode: Find My, AirTag, 查找. Device location sharing for lost items — not trip ETA sharing during navigation. Covered on our Find My guide.
EV Routing listing copy (different) — electric vehicle routes with charging stops: EV Routing, 电动车路线, 充电站. EV route planning — not Share ETA with contacts. Covered on our EV Routing guide.
Look Around listing copy (different) — street-level 360 imagery and immersive neighborhood preview: Look Around, 环视, 街景环视. Street preview — not live ETA sharing. Covered on our Look Around guide.
Offline Maps listing copy (different) — download offline map areas: Offline Maps, 离线地图, 下载离线地图. Region download — not Share ETA. Covered on our Offline Maps guide.
Parking Location listing copy (different) — where-you-parked car pin: Parked Car Location, 停车位置. Parked-car marker — not live arrival-time sharing. Covered on our Parking Location guide.
Share ETA adds live estimated arrival time sharing with contacts during navigation. MapKit directions adds turn-by-turn and nearby discovery. Check In adds safety trip check-ins. Find My adds item tracking. Mixing vocabulary across those surfaces on one product page reads like confused localization — scope each screenshot frame to the workflow it actually shows.
What China buyers see when zh-Hans Share ETA copy is missing
Family, ride-share, and navigation purchasers browsing the China App Store evaluate live arrival-time sharing trust in the first scroll. Common failure modes when only en-US is filled:
English title and subtitle — app name and tagline still Latin script while competitors show native Chinese Share ETA positioning with 分享到达时间 or 共享预计到达时间
Untranslated Share ETA badges on screenshots — overlay lines like "Share ETA", "Share Arrival Time", "Share Estimated Time of Arrival", or "Live ETA sharing" remain English on zh-Hans gallery frames
Arrival-sharing value in English — description opens with US Share ETA marketing ("Send live ETA updates to family while you drive") that China readers skim past or misread as generic location tracking
Keyword field still en-US — buyers search 分享到达时间, 共享预计到达时间, 预计到达时间, or 分享 ETA; an English-only keyword row misses China Search intent
Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
Conflating Share ETA with MapKit directions — zh-Hans copy mentions 导航 or 路线规划 when screenshots show Share ETA contact picker and live arrival updates, not turn-by-turn step lists — see MapKit listing (zh-Hans)
Conflating Share ETA with Check In — 安全签到 or 行程报平安 language on frames that show Apple Maps Share ETA during active navigation, not safety Check In workflows — see Check In listing (zh-Hans)
Conflating Share ETA with Find My — 查找 or AirTag language on frames that show live ETA sharing with contacts, not item tracking — see Find My listing (zh-Hans)
Better zh-Hans listing copy helps Share ETA-aware buyers understand live arrival-time sharing benefits before install. It does not replace Share ETA engineering, Contacts integration, or Apple's review decisions.
Share ETA-specific listing copy — what translates differently
Live arrival-time sharing listings use vocabulary general utility guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese App Store readers describe Apple Maps Share ETA — not a literal paste of US marketing:
Share ETA phrasing
US pages use "Share ETA", "Share Arrival Time", "Share Estimated Time of Arrival", "Live ETA sharing", "Share My ETA", or "Send live arrival updates." Apple's Simplified Chinese Maps vocabulary often uses 分享到达时间 for general Share ETA feature marketing, 共享预计到达时间 for live ETA sharing with contacts during navigation frames, 预计到达时间 for ETA readout and arrival-time panel callouts, and 分享 ETA for concise badge lines. AppLocale aligns phrasing with Apple's consumer-facing terms while keeping your app's voice — not inventing arrival-sharing workflows Apple Maps does not offer.
Share sheet vs live update vs contact picker
Screenshot overlays differ by workflow step — Share ETA button on the route panel, contact picker sheet, or live arrival-time update card in Messages. Chinese buyers expect concise labels on gallery frames that match the step shown — 分享到达时间 for general Share ETA entry, 共享预计到达时间 for live-sharing frames, 预计到达时间 for ETA readout panels — not English "Share ETA" pasted through machine translation.
Share ETA vs MapKit directions
When your English listing markets both Share ETA and in-app directions, zh-Hans overlays must separate 分享到达时间 / 共享预计到达时间 vocabulary from 地图 / 导航 / 附近 MapKit directions vocabulary — distinct buyer promises with different screenshot frames on the same product page. MapKit may show ETA chips on route panels as secondary UI; Share ETA leads with contact sharing during navigation.
Share ETA vs Check In or Find My
Share ETA is live estimated arrival time sharing with contacts while navigating. Check In is safety trip check-ins and notify-when-I-arrive safety alerts — 安全签到 is not 分享到达时间. Find My is item and AirTag tracking — 查找 is not live trip ETA sharing. If your app supports multiple surfaces, scope each screenshot frame accurately.
Subtitle and keyword packing
The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need Share ETA search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 分享到达时间, 共享预计到达时间, and 预计到达时间 each signal different intent from 安全签到 Check In keywords or 导航 directions keywords.
English Share ETA phrases China buyers still see
Common en-US marketing lines that leak onto the China product page when zh-Hans caption fields are empty or copy-pasted from the US gallery:
Share ETA — general live arrival-time sharing badge on iPhone screenshot overlays
Share Arrival Time — outcome headline on Share ETA entry frames
Share Estimated Time of Arrival — formal ETA sharing callout on route-panel frames
Live ETA sharing — active-navigation marketing on contact-picker or update-card frames
Share My ETA — action-oriented marketing on Share ETA button frames
Send live arrival updates — family or ride-share value proposition on Messages update frames
Let contacts track your ETA — live-update marketing on navigation companion frames
Estimated arrival time updates — ongoing ETA recalculation callout on active-route frames
Chinese iPhone buyers searching for 分享到达时间, 共享预计到达时间, or 预计到达时间 still land on English-only overlays — that reads as an incomplete localization pass, not a bilingual Share ETA app.
Common mistakes on Share ETA zh-Hans listings
Assuming Share ETA integration localizes automatically — live arrival-time sharing feature shipped; zh-Hans row never added or left blank
Only translating the description — subtitle, keywords, and screenshot caption lines still English
Reusing US Share ETA badges verbatim — Latin "Share ETA" and "Share Arrival Time" badges on zh-Hans screenshots signal an unfinished localization
Conflating Share ETA with MapKit directions — listing copy about 导航 or 路线 when screenshots actually show Share ETA contact picker and live arrival updates
Conflating Share ETA with Check In — 安全签到 or 行程报平安 language on frames that show Apple Maps Share ETA during active navigation, not safety Check In
Conflating Share ETA with Find My — 查找 or AirTag language on frames that show live ETA sharing with contacts, not item tracking
Translating the in-app Share ETA label only — system Maps UI may show Chinese from iOS while the App Store product page stays English
Expecting AppLocale to implement Share ETA APIs or design Share ETA screenshots — Contacts integration, Messages share-sheet wiring, and sample Share ETA asset production are outside listing rewrite
What good zh-Hans Share ETA listing copy looks like
Share ETA-centric listings name the live arrival-time sharing workflow in plain zh-Hans — not a word-for-word mirror of English brochure lines:
Subtitle — one clause on live ETA sharing or share-arrival-time outcome; room for 分享到达时间 or 共享预计到达时间 within 30 characters
Keywords — mix 分享到达时间, 共享预计到达时间, 预计到达时间, Share ETA, and category nouns; avoid English-only "Share ETA" stuffing — see Simplified Chinese keywords
Description — lead with the Share ETA or live arrival-time sharing workflow; mention contact sharing only when your app actually supports that path on Apple Maps or your in-app navigation stack
Screenshot overlays — short lines naming what the frame shows: 分享到达时间, 共享预计到达时间, 预计到达时间 — not "Share ETA" pasted through machine translation
Voice match — same 你/您 and punctuation habits as your other zh-Hans fields
Honest scope — if your app deep links to Apple Maps Share ETA but does not embed live ETA update UI, zh-Hans copy should not imply contact-picker flows unless your English listing already claims them accurately
zh-Hans Share ETA captions can differ idiomatically from en-US overlays when the on-screen feature is the same — avoid mirroring comma-heavy English marketing onto iPhone art.
Connect checklist before you order Share ETA listing copy
Confirm China under Pricing and Availability — storefront enabled if you intend to sell there
Confirm Share ETA or live arrival-time sharing features work in your build — note that we do not change Share ETA APIs, Contacts integration, or portal settings for you
Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — note whether the zh-Hans row exists and which text fields are empty vs English placeholder
Export English Share ETA marketing copy — current en-US title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and every screenshot overlay line ("Share ETA", "Share Arrival Time", contact picker frames, and live update card frames)
Count screenshot frames — note how many iPhone slots show Share ETA entry, contact picker, live arrival updates, or navigation companion marketing
Separate listing from in-app UI — listing rewrite does not cover storyboard strings or Share ETA labels inside the binary
Note which sharing paths you market — embedded Share ETA deep link, Apple Maps Share ETA companion, Messages live update cards — so zh-Hans copy stays accurate to your English listing
Distinguish Share ETA from MapKit directions or Check In frames — tag which overlay lines are live ETA sharing vs turn-by-turn directions vs safety Check In so each caption gets accurate zh-Hans scope
Plan caption re-export if text is burned into PNGs — Connect caption fields help when overlays are editable; English baked into image files needs design rework outside AppLocale
For one Share ETA-marketing app on the zh-Hans row, paste-ready Simplified Chinese copy for the listing fields you specify:
Title (name) — zh-Hans app name within Connect character limits
Subtitle — Share ETA or live arrival-time sharing phrasing within the ~30-character cap
Keywords — comma-separated zh-Hans search terms with rationale notes (分享到达时间, 共享预计到达时间, 预计到达时间 where relevant)
Description — buyer-readable body copy aligned with your English Share ETA listing meaning
Promotional text — when you include the 170-character promo field in scope
Screenshot overlay / caption lines — zh-Hans replacements for "Share ETA", "Share Arrival Time", "Share Estimated Time of Arrival", 分享到达时间, 共享预计到达时间, 预计到达时间, and similar frame text
English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on Share ETA promises
24-hour turnaround — delivered to the email on your Stripe receipt after checkout and intake
Human rewrite from your current English Share ETA marketing listing — not a machine translation dump. Default $79 scope is Connect listing metadata; bundle IAP display names or promotional-only passes via the AppLocale product page if needed.
What AppLocale does not do
Does not implement Share ETA APIs, Contacts integration, or Messages share-sheet engineering
Does not wire MapKit navigation share extensions, live ETA update pipelines, or Apple Maps Share ETA deep links in Swift
Does not generate, design, or re-export screenshot PNGs or Share ETA sample imagery assets
Does not write MapKit directions turn-by-turn or nearby-place listing copy as the hero — see the MapKit guide for 地图 / 导航 marketing
Does not write Check In safety check-in workflow listing copy as the hero — see the Check In guide for 安全签到 / 行程报平安 marketing
Does not write Safety Check shared-access review listing copy — see the Safety Check guide
Does not write Find My or AirTag item-tracking listing copy — see the Find My guide
Does not write EV Routing, Look Around, Offline Maps, or Parking Location listing copy as the hero — see contrast guides linked above
Does not localize the app binary or in-app UI strings, storyboards, or Xcode string catalogs
Does not manage Apple Search Ads, ad campaigns, or monetization strategy
Does not guarantee App Store rankings, Share ETA adoption, or download growth in China
Does not operate review-reply retainers or respond to App Store reviews on your behalf
Does not click Save or Submit in App Store Connect for you
Is not QuantRadar, not paid ads management, and not investment or legal advice
Does not create separate share-my-eta, apple-maps-share-eta, maps-share-eta, eta-sharing, share-arrival, or share-route-eta twin pages
Does not invent reviews, ratings, or traffic numbers
How it works
Confirm scope — Share ETA app with en-US listing done; identify which zh-Hans fields and screenshot caption lines are still English
Send intake — reply from the email on your Stripe receipt with your App Store listing URL, English Share ETA marketing copy (all fields and caption lines), screenshot frame count, and target locale (zh-Hans)
Receive files — within 24 hours, paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields arrive at your Stripe receipt email
Paste and submit — fill the zh-Hans row in Connect, enter caption lines per screenshot slot, save, and submit the version for review. Success page: AppLocale thanks.
Does shipping Share ETA auto-translate my China listing?
No. Apple Maps Share ETA, Contacts pickers, and live arrival-time update flows control device behavior — they do not create or fill a Simplified Chinese localization row. Empty or English zh-Hans fields mean China buyers see en-US fallback.
What listing fields does AppLocale rewrite for Share ETA apps?
Paste-ready Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) copy for App Store Connect listing fields you specify: title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot overlay or caption lines — rewritten from your English Share ETA marketing originals.
Can AppLocale implement Share ETA APIs or Messages integration?
No. We deliver listing metadata copy only. Share ETA engineering, Contacts integration, Messages share-sheet wiring, and sample Share ETA asset design are outside AppLocale scope.
How is this different from MapKit directions, Check In, or Find My?
Share ETA copy markets live arrival-time sharing with contacts while navigating — Share ETA, Share Arrival Time, 分享到达时间, 共享预计到达时间. MapKit copy markets in-app maps and turn-by-turn directions — 地图, 导航, 附近 — with ETA chips on route panels as secondary detail, not Share ETA as the hero. Check In copy markets safety trip check-ins and notify-when-I-arrive alerts — 安全签到, 行程报平安. Find My covers item tracking — 查找. Each surface has separate screenshot vocabulary.
Why do screenshot captions still say "Share ETA" in English on China?
Caption and overlay fields are managed per localization. If you filled en-US screenshot text but never saved zh-Hans caption lines — or uploaded the same English-overlay PNGs to the Chinese set — China buyers see Latin Share ETA badges on the product page.
Should zh-Hans copy use 分享到达时间, 共享预计到达时间, or 预计到达时间?
Each appears in Chinese storefront and search contexts. AppLocale picks phrasing that matches your English listing claims and screenshot overlays — 分享到达时间 for general Share ETA marketing, 共享预计到达时间 for live-sharing frames, 预计到达时间 for ETA readout panels — without inventing arrival-sharing workflows Apple Maps does not offer.
What do I send after AppLocale payment?
Your live App Store listing URL, current English Share ETA marketing listing (title, subtitle, keywords, description, promo if used, all screenshot caption lines), screenshot frame counts, and target locale (zh-Hans). Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt — we deliver to that Stripe email within 24 hours.
Will localized Share ETA listing copy improve Search ranking in China?
We do not guarantee keyword position, chart rank, or install growth. Complete zh-Hans metadata helps Share ETA-aware buyers who already found your page understand live arrival-time sharing benefits in their language.
How much does AppLocale cost?
$79 one-time via Stripe checkout. No subscription. Seller is Fortune Insight, LLC.
What is AppLocale not?
Not Share ETA API wiring or Contacts/Messages integration engineering, not MapKit turn-by-turn directions hub listing copy as the hero, not Check In safety check-in workflow listing copy, not Safety Check shared-access review listing copy, not Find My or AirTag item-tracking listing copy, not EV Routing, Look Around, Offline Maps, or Parking Location listing copy as the hero, not screenshot design or Share ETA PNG re-export, not binary or in-app localization, not ads management, not ranking guarantees, not review-reply retainers, not QuantRadar, and not investment or legal advice. We do not create separate share-my-eta, apple-maps-share-eta, maps-share-eta, eta-sharing, share-arrival, or share-route-eta twin pages. We do not invent reviews, ratings, or traffic numbers.
