Focus won’t add location

I upgraded to the new iPhone recently and I wanted to add my focus settings. All my location services are on, I’m searching the address. My home address pops up automatically but it won’t search for an address so I can add it to focus

iPhone 14 Pro Max

Hey nikkielette,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you're not able to search for locations when setting up a custom Focus. From the screenshot it shows you're using cellular data only. Does this also happen if you connect to a Wi-Fi network? Be sure you have given access to cellular data for the Settings app too as it needs a data connection to search. Here's how to check: View or change cellular data settings on iPhone - Apple Support


Some other steps that we recommend would be to be sure you have the most current software version iOS 16.3 and restarting your iPhone as fresh connections can resolve odd issues. If an update is needed, be sure to back up first. Here are some guides to help, just in case:


  1. How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
  2. Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
  3. Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


Keep us posted.


Take care!
