Apple Maps home favorite does not show after adding. Is there a solution?

Hi,

I have seen a lot of discussions about this and I can't seem to find a solution anywhere.


When adding an address as "Home" it doesn't show in the quick favorites (as Work does for example).

I have tried adding it by editing my contact info (choosing home label), and I have tried adding it via maps directly clicking on "+Add" and going thorugh the process of "updating my contact".


Work favorite works seamlessly, however, "Home" doesn't at all. I can search for "home" and it will show me the correct icon and location, but that is not what I want, I want to have it shown up as "Home" next to the "Work" favorite.


I have followed all the instructions on official Apple support sites and tested other things myself (I did not add two or more "home" addresses in the contacts card. I have tried also deleting all of the addresses and adding them again in different order, still no luck).


My question is, if there is any solution for this, since nothing can be found on the internet that would work.

I am adding screenshots below, to provide better understanding.


"Solutions" I have tried:

  • restarting the iPhone
  • reinstalling Apple Maps
  • reseting the iPhone
  • deleting all addresses from my contact and reinstalling the Apps before adding.


My iPhone info:

  • iPhone 14 Pro
  • iOS 16.5.1 (latest)
  • Apple Maps are latest (since I've redownloaded them a few times troubleshooting)



Screenshots:




EDIT: I have also filed a bug report with Apple here.

I found a solution to this which may or may not work for you - my address has 'Flat' in it - e.g Flat 21, when I removed that and just used the number '21' it showed up in maps as 'Home.' If I add 'Flat' before the number it disappears. So it may be something to do with official listed address vs what it's commonly called. (My deeds don't have 'Flat' in).

That sadly doesn't work in my case (hopefully it helps someone else though).


I have tried adding it through my contact info, when that didn't work, I've tried the "search for the address - add to favorites - edit favorite - home - update".

After what you have said I have tried to delete my home info in my contact, dropped a pin at my location, added it to favorites and edited it as favorite. The thing is it does show as home, but only after I search for it (so, search: "home"), it even shows it as a blue house. The only thing is it doesn't show it at my quick "favorites", while "Work" is there with no issues.


Strange bug, that is around for quite a while now I can see.

Thanks anyway!

In the past, I added my contact card details to my iphone and these are showing in my watch including all other favorites. At some point they were gone so I was also searching for a solution.


Fast forward today, I checked the maps app in my macbook and I couldn't see my home and work contact cards so I added them there. Fortunately my watch began to sync these details and they are now showing in my watch. It could probably be syncing issue with multiple apple devices.

Sorry for a late response.

Sadly the only things Apple I have are the mobile trifecta (Phone, watch and airpods).

I did try removing the watch and adding it back, if it would help solving two birds with one stone with the reset (mainly because I was also trying to get the sunset/sunrise bug resolved on the watch).


Still, I wasn't able to solve this, so the hunt continues.

Hi Mickey_D86,


the issue is, that it is the correct address my town/village uses two words in its name and I don't have a street name just a three digit number.


So for example: "Namept1 Namept2 ###"


When I type in a different number that isn't three numbers it saves it normally. Whenever I use auto-fill it uses it correctly, however only in maps I don't see the blue home button unless I type in "home" in search bar, then it knows where to navigate. I can only have "work" as a favorite so I can quickly choose it.


Unfortunately the area code would take me too far away and to a different town, because my town isn't the main town of the municipality in which the code is registered.


It's still frustrating me and nothing is done to have it fixed (wrote to apple on multiple occasions and through different channels).
