iPhone Maps App Repeatedly Deletes a Favorite Location

I have a favorite location that I visit regularly. When I added it to Maps on my iMac and iPad, it’s registered as a favorite location. When I add it to Maps on my iPhone, it gets deleted after one to two seconds, tops. This happens whether I enter the address directly or search for it. I know it’s a valid address and Maps lets me tap “Add to Favorites,” at which point the button changes to “Remove from Favorites” and almost instantly, back to “Add to Favorites.”


I’m at a loss for why this is happening ONLY in Maps on my iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 16.3.1. (CarPlay is also affected, since CarPlay uses my iPhone for mapping.)

Hi Sevardin,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you're running into an issue adding a location to your "Favorites" and we're happy to help. You mentioned this is affecting CarPlay as well. Have you tried adding this location to favorites without being connected to CarPlay? If not, try that with these steps:


1. In the row of Favorites on the search card, tap the Add button.
2. If the Add button doesn’t appear, swipe the Favorites row left.
3. Do one of the following:
* Choose a suggestion below the search field.
* Enter a place or address in the search field, then choose a search result.

See more about those steps here: Save favorite places in Maps on iPhone - Apple Support


If this continues when not connected to CarPlay, let us know if this happens with any other location you try to add to favorites. We'll go from there.


Thanks.

Hello Sevardin,


Since the issue only happens on 1 device, we know it is not related to the Maps app. However, since it also only happens with one location and not all, we know it is not the app overall. You may want to reach out to Apple Support directly, so you can look further into this issue. They'll be able to offer more help with isolating the cause of this behavior.


You can reach out to them by clicking here: Contact - Official Apple Support or over the phone by calling the number that is most local to your region: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support.


Kind regards!
