Can't add contact from maps

Within maps, share via messenger, send to yourself. Then within messenger, select contact, then you have the option to save contact. It’s ridiculous that a workaround is necessary but it works.

I had this problem too - and discovered this thread. After finding no solution here, I tried a few things and found that in "Settings-Contacts", my default account was set to my business email account.. I changed it to "iCloud" and now it is working correctly. My best guess is that my work mail accounts "contact" support is read-only or has some other type of incompatibility.

Try changing the "default account" in the Contacts settings applet and see if it helps...

OMG! Thank you! Mine was set to my Hotmail account. It's all fixed now!!!

Thank you. Works. I now enter the letter A for the contact and then it's easier to find when I "Add to existing contact". It has taking me too long to google this problem. But you, chern4c have solved a major issue in my life. I use this feature all the **** time.

I am having the EXACT same issues. I have added SEVERAL contacts from maps, even added additional information to the contact & once "done" is selected the information is lost in the worthless Apple ether.....

I have scoured the blogs, Apple knows this is happening & like always, does & says nothing when asked except suggest updating my iOS to the latest version.

I'm running the latest iOS 10.3.1, it has fixed NOTHING & it still has serious glitches.

Thanks Apple for always ruining a good thing, it's the only thing we can be certain you'll do.

Update ALL YOU LIKE, it will NOT fix this & several other issues......

I have been having the same issue for a while now with my iPhone. If I call the number for the contact I added it shows the name in the recent calls but it is nowhere to be found as a contact.

Still can't find solution. Anyone have any luck?

Nothing that has worked. I have done more searching and I can't find any solutions. I have had this issue for a while. Its saving the data somewhere on the phone because if I call a restaurant that I have added while in Maps the name populates in my call log but if I search the contacts or a general search on the phone nothing shows. I have iPhone 6 running 9.2.1.

iPhone 5S running 9.2.1

Same issue as above 😟

Same here only I'm not adding this from Maps I'm adding directly from the keyboard. If I add a contact it does not show up in my contacts. As the rest of you have mentioned, it is stored somewhere that the phone can access it, but doesn't show up in the contacts. Interestingly, while the addresses I add on my iPhone do NOT show up the iPhone itself they do show up on the iPad and the iMac which are all synced. Both my iPhone 6 and my iPad are running 9.2.1.

Same exact problem on a iPhone 6s plus running 9.3. No apple map business contacts will save to my phone contact list. this function used to work.

Update. My issue seems to have been fixed...just a flash in the pan apparently.

I Updated my software 9.3 but am still not able to add a contact from the maps. 😟

I have the same problem. Although, I noticed that if I add the contact and then separately type in the number and call it, the call shows as calling to that contact. What I mean is, the business I just did this with was Debbie Supply Inc. Added it, tried to find in contacts - couldn't find it. Then, separately I went to Google Maps, selected Call from the app, which redirected to phone and called the number for the business. My phone shows calling Debbie Supply Inc as if the contact were in my Contacts. I search contacts again looking for Deb, Supp, and Inc and find nothing. So weird.

My guess is that the contact is being added the phone's memory, but is somehow not being shown in Contacts.

Your correct. I have noticed that if I try to save them they do not show up in contacts, but if they call me or I manually call them the name shows in in the caller ID. The problem is if I want to call the place I have to look up the number instead of going to my contacts. Very frustrating that it's clearly being stored but not being accessed by contacts.
