Can’t edit location name

I have my phone in my possession and I would like to edit my location’s name on Find My. But the app won’t allow me to. It says my address is unavailable.

iPhone XR, iOS 16

Hello adri4500,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We see you have some locations about editing your location name, and we'd like to help. The following link may be able to assist, as it walks through steps on how to do this: Find people and share your location with Find My - Apple Support


Name your location
If you want, you can name the locations that you frequently visit:
1. Open the Find My app, then select the Me tab.
2. Scroll down and tap Location.
3. Select Home, Work, School, Gym, None, or tap Add Custom Label to create your own name.


If you're having issues with naming your location, please make sure your network is connected and stable. Also, try updating your device, if needed: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


This can help ensure your phone has the most recent settings.


1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.
5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.


Let us know if this helps.


Regards.
