Ha! - I called Apple support (800) 275-2273), and in less than a minute of research Matthew figured it out:

The feature to update/created new contact, and to share contact moved from the bottom to the top of a Maps business/place description, Select the “Share” icon (box with arrow coming up and out). Excellent this worked!!!

”thanks Matthew!”

Adding a new Contact from Apple Maps has changed Apple Maps on the iPhone has recently changed the way in which you create a Contact. You used to tap the Ellipsis button and add or update a Contact that way. Now you have to hit the Share button and you’ll find the Add or Update Contact option there.

Sharing location not showing up in contact info “My wife shares her location with me. We each have separate iCloud accounts. I am able to see her location in the “Find My” app, however the location had previously popped up on a map in the contact info. How can I make this appear again? When another friend shares location with me I am able to see it in the contact info.” Literally having the exact same problem as this guy from 2021. Has anyone figured it out? I have tried all of the suggestions apple made to him and nothing works. This is what our phones look like.

Enhanced Business Contacts no longer created from Apple Maps on iOS 16? On iOS 15 you can ceate a contact from any buisness you look up on Apple Maps, and those contact entries will be an enhanced contact showing the same information that displayed when you searched on Apple Maps, Yelp Info, Menu to place an order, Map, etc. On iOS 16 it still shows those contacts as such, but when you go to add a new one from Apple Maps it just creates a standard contact with the phone/address and other data just as if you manually created it. Recreating that same contact on an iPad running iPadOS 15 will still create the enhanced maps contact. Are these being phased out, or is this a bug/oversight on iOS 16?
