As mentioned, Google rolled out the design changes to Google Maps to Android back in July 2024 but it's only just coming to iOS users. To see the changes, you will need to be running version 25.10.2. To make sure you're running the latest version of Google Maps, open the App Store on your iPhone and search for Google Maps.

Google Maps is the first app we’re seeing adopt Android 16’s new Live Updates feature, according to Android Authority. Users on Android 16 beta 2.1 can now see the time until their next turn and estimated time to arrival on the status bar of their device.

If you're running the latest Android 16 beta (2.1) and have the latest version of Google Maps installed, this should be all needed to check out the feature. You can try it out by navigating somewhere using turn-by-turn directions, which will bring up a small chip showing you the time until your next turn or your ETA to your destination.
