My daughter's address in another state keeps coming up as my default home address. My contact page is correct. Can't find a way to edit home address on app.

Hello janecycler,


In the Maps app , you can save places—such as your home, your work, and where you go for coffee—to your favorites list. You can quickly find your favorites on the search card.

A search card with several favorites shown at the top of the card.

Tip: To make Home and Work automatically appear as favorites, add your work and home addresses to My Card in Contacts.


If your Home address isn't appearing correctly, and you need to edit it, this link will guide you through how to do that, and may help: Save favorite places in Maps on iPhone


Edit a favorite

1. On the search card, tap More above the row of favorites.
2. Tap the Settings button next to the favorite.
3. Depending on the location, you may be able to make the following changes:

• Rename the favorite: Double-tap the Label field, then enter a new name.
• Change the address: Tap Contact Card, then make your changes.
• Delete the location from your favorites list: Tap Remove Favorite.
• Tell someone your ETA: Tap Add Person, then choose one or more suggested contacts, or search for a contact. Whenever you start turn-by-turn navigation to this location, the person automatically receives a notification about your estimated time of arrival (ETA). See Share your estimated time of arrival (ETA).
4. Tap Done.


Thanks!
