Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
How do I update my Apple maps app on my iPhone? I live on a long dead end street. Apple maps shows part of the road is closed (which it is not). Today someone could not find my house because their Apple maps did the same thing mine does, it takes you to another nearby street. I submitted a change request through the app but is there anything else I can do? I checked the maps app on three other iPhones, all are doing the same thing. My iOS is up to date.
iPhone XR, iOS 14
Quite. A lot of data stealing companies are complaining that all the new Apple privacy is ruining their business models. Wait til you see iOS15 - see what Apple has announced already.
Unfortunately, there’s nothing more you can do. Use the “Report issues” feature in Maps, that’s all you can do. There’s no way to update your satellite image database manually. You would think with all the money we give , they would provide us with a better Maps App than Google.
Hope this helps!
Yeah, those types of business are crying themselves to sleep because they can’t steal people’s information. I’ve never understood how/why people volunteer to disclose/allow companies access to their basic privacy. As to the release, I SAW THAT! I’ve sat and read through the whole release the other day. I’m SO excited! I can’t wait to be able to view my security cameras using my Watch too!
They get their data from issue reports from users and for temporary jams and traffic flow from other sources like TomTom.
You have done all you can. No harm in re-issuing the report.
Better giving Apple money that giving Google more information about you than your mother knows about you.
Amen to that! I absolutely LOVE how Apple cares about our privacy!
