Maps not loading

So recently I’ve noticed on my iPhone 13 that maps isn’t loading as quickly as it used to. Before it would load immediately. Now it just shows the gray grid, and when I zoom in it still shows it, and take about a minute to load. So just wondering if anyone knows why that is?


iPhone 13, iOS 16

Hi drock04,


Maps uses a combination of GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and your connection to nearby cellular towers to triangulate and load your location in the app. If the map is slow to load make sure you have all of those features enabled with a strong connection for each.


You can also follow the steps in these articles to close and reopen the Maps app and restart your iPhone to see if it helps.



Regards.
