after ios 26 maps doesnt work

I have tried restarting my phone and pro max 13 and still maps doesn’t work. It’s like my phone doesn’t know where it is. It’s updated to the newest ios26 and after that it’s never worked right. I’ve tried Google Maps as well and still doesn’t work. It’s very annoying because the screen will just freeze. Any tips would be great.
