“FindMy” does not show correct address

My Apple Maps and also Find My list an incorrect address for my location I have tried to correct it in Maps by using “Report an Issue”. However after adding a photo and comment the “Send” button is not live so I can’t actually submit it .


I have a 13 mini running 15.2.1.


thanks

Hi Gdad621,


We understand you're unable to report an issue via the Maps app because the "Send" option isn't active. Which option are you selecting as the issue? If it is "Street or path name is wrong", you will want to update the "Name of the Street or Path": Report an incident in Maps on your iPhone.


If not selecting that one, let us know which one you're selecting.


Take care.

Hey Gdad621


"Apps that can show your location on the screen, including Maps, show your current (approximate) location using a blue marker. In Maps, if your location can’t be determined precisely, you’ll see a blue circle around the marker." To review additional information, click here: About privacy and Location Services in iOS and iPadOS.


Another reason could be related to the address that appears when you sign into your Apple ID. For more information, scroll to the section labeled "What if I don’t recognize the location shown in my sign in notification?" in this article: Two-factor authentication for Apple I


Other factors such as third-party software that can adjust your date, time, and/or location, may be involved as well.


Here's another article that may interest you as well: Turn Location Services and GPS on or off on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Hope this helps. Take care.

The FINDMY app displays that my iPhone is at 8 Sandy Beach Road. That address does not exist. I then opened APPLE MAPS. Selected REPORT AN ISSUE and then ADDRESS IS WRONG. I attached a photo showing the correct house number and a comment. At this point the SEND button is not functioning, so I am unable to submit the notice.


Also, I am correctly signed into my Apple account.


I have screen shots but don’t understand how to attach then to this post.


Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone,


thanks for your continued help. Please remember that my original complaint is that FINDMY displays my location as “8 Sandy Beach Road.” This address does NOT exist. I attempted to report the error in MAPS. I am unable to submit the notification of the error in Maps. I can supply screen shots as documentation but do not know how to do that.


stay well.
