Apple Maps crashing in iOS 16.5

Hello, when I go into my Apple Maps on my iPhone 12 to search something or get directions etc the app keeps crashing and closes itself down. I then go back into Apple Maps again and it does the same thing, I’ve even deleted the app and reinstalled it but it still keeps crashing now. So I have to keep using Google Maps instead.

iPhone 12

Try resetting location and privacy settings. It's under "General->Transfer or Rest iPhone->Reset->Reset Location & Privacy".


It didn't solve my issue with Maps crashing but it has solved some prior issues with Maps behaving badly so might help your situation but no guarantee. Resetting this will force you to re-enable location privileges for all apps but it's not hard as each will prompt you to allow them to have access to location data as you open them. Of course, the first one you should re-enable is Maps to see if that fixes your issue. Best wishes.
