If your iPhone is showing that you're driving even though you're sitting in your living room,


  1. Check your iPhone's location settings: Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and make sure that location services are turned on for your iPhone. Also, make sure that the Maps app is allowed to access your location.
  2. Restart your iPhone: Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the power button until the "slide to power off" slider appears. Slide the slider to turn off your device, then press and hold the power button again until the Apple logo appears.
  3. Update your iPhone: Make sure that your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. Go to Settings > General > Software Update to see if any updates are available. If there are, update your device to the latest version.


If none of the above steps resolve the issue, check what is the Driving Focus settings on your device 9refer to the pic below
