Apple Maps is a built-in application for the iPhone. Users can save their favourite locations and reach their destination with a few fingertips. Apple has improved the Maps for regular users and simplified the process. However, we move from one town to another due to the work demands. Most people get annoyed to type a new house address each time. We will show you how to change the home address and save it in the Maps.

Turn On the Mobile Data or Wi-Fi Network
iPhone synchronizes the settings to the iCloud account. Your device needs an active internet connection to save the new changes in the Apple server. The smartphone will restore the data whenever you upgrade the device or reset the smartphone.
1. Tap the “Settings” app.
2. Swipe down and tap the “Wi-Fi” or “Mobile Data” option.
3. Turn on the Wi-Fi and connect the device to a local network. Turn on the Mobile Data for internet access.
I don’t recommend the public Wi-Fi network as there is a risk of data leak. Use Mobile Data or a home Wi-Fi network for a secure connection.

Many users don’t update the applications manually and leave the task to the App Store. We request the readers to update the Apple Maps.
1. Launch the App Store from the Home Screen.
2. Tap the profile picture on the top right side corner.
3. Swipe down and locate the “Maps” from the list.
4. Tap the “Update all” button to automate the task.
Give a few moments for the iPhone to update the packages.
