Can't remove specific map addresses from Favorites in IOS 8

I have not been able to find a way to delete specific locations that have been saved to my Favorites in the iPhone iOS 8 Maps application. From the MAPS screen, I can tap on the Search Bar to bring up a list of all of my Favorites, then tap on 'Recent' at the bottom of the screen to produce a "CLEAR" option at the top left of the screen. HOWEVER, if I tap "CLEAR", I only get the option of clearing ALL of my FAVORITE locations, not of clearing specific ones. There are many locations that I wish to save, so I do not want to delete them all. I have tried swiping across the location I wish to delete, tapping on it etc., to no avail.

iPhone 6, iOS 8

I just figured this out:


1. open MAPS

2. In FAVORITES, tap on the address

3. It will take you to the map and show you a PIN

4. Tap on the PIN

5. When the small window pops up, you'll see a picture of a car, the address, and a small arrow on the right

6. Tap on the arrow that is on the right

7. A list will appear, tap "remove PIN"


That should do it.

I followed your instructions but when I tap on the arrow to the right of the address I get a list that contains the following:

Create New Contact

Add to Existing Contact

Report a Problem

Don't know why these items are even in the Map application but there are definitely no options to "Remove Address"

Sorry it didn't work. I had just done it before i saw your post.


Call Apple.


I have already called them and told them about it and what they should do to make it easier, if you do the same and

tell others about it, and they call too...maybe they'll send and update to make it easier.


Oh, by the way....make sure you are tapping on the correct pin, there might be two for the same address...one is the favorite and one is the recent.


The Favorite will be in purple (at least on mine it is).
