Source of Home address in Find My

I’m on iOS 16.7.2 and I have not set my home (or work) location anywhere in Maps or Contacts, yet Find My suddenly shows a Home icon and groups my tags into "Private".

Where is that address coming from and how can I change or delete it?

iPhone 8, iOS 16

"Find My" gets my home address wrong When I look on the Find My app, my various devices all appear with an address that is the house next door to me. When I leave a device behind at home, I get a notice from Find My that my device is at the house next door. In all cases, the device is always at my actual home. I went to change the "notify me" settings, which I'd like to set so that it doesn't notify me when my devices are at my actual home address, instead of the incorrect neighbor's address the software is making up. However, I cannot see any way to tell "Find My" that I don't live at my neighbor's house instead of my own. Is there a way to tell Find My what my actual home address is and have it list all of my devices being there instead of, falsely, at my neighbor's house?

Go to Settings>Contacts>My Info. Do you have your contact card selected? Does it have your home address listed? That's where all the other Apple apps get your "Home" information.

Do you have frequent locations turned on? And apart from that iPhone can determine your workplace and home address based on your location patterns, I guess it's a guess
