As the title says. Every time I swipe right and remove some of the entries in my Maps history, they just appear in the list again. There's 5 of them. Can't remove any of them on either iPhone or iPad, both running iOS 11, but I first noticed this when both devices ran iOS 10. It's not OS version specific, it's like it's saved in the cloud and it keeps restoring the entries when I remove them.
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11.1, null
thanks for your suggestion...but it did not work for me.
I tried going into Settings>AppleID>iCloud. Under "Apps using iCloud" I toggled Maps to "off" on both my iPhone and iPad. Then I went back to Maps and all the magically reappearing locations that I tried deleting several times were gone on both the iPhone and the iPad. I then repeated the process and toggled the Maps app to "on."
so far, none of the addresses that would constantly reappear after deleting them have reappeared. I tried entering a new address and selecting directions for it, then cancelling and deleting and that worked successfully. Old addresses that automatically would reappear after deleting them have not reappeared...so far.
Thanks for your suggestion. I gave it a try. Turned Maps back on in iCloud. I delete an old location and within a few seconds it reappears.
I'm in the same boat. Why can't Apple fix this?
Hi, Found a solution
Step 1 - switch off the maps and clear the call history
Step 2 - once history is cleared make a new entry like calling a number
Thanks, has worked for me.
Holy cow! This worked for me. How silly is that? This is a crazy solution..
What exactly did you have to do? Ive cleared call history and nothjng is working.
THANK YOU! Your suggestion was a fix for me!
Whoops. Spoke to soon. Mine are back. Clearing the history on the phone clears the map locations temporarily but not permanently for me.
Oh, man. Not what I wanted to hear. I am still good for now (cleared), but who knows for how long since you say it’s just temporary. Sure hope there becomes a permanent fix—soon!
That worked! Thank you. Dianefrommountainhome
Well, that was a ridiculously easy fix that ACTUALLY WORKED! Seems to be staying fixed.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Like others have said... it’s genius. It worked like a charm. Sad that Apple isn’t paying attention to fix the bug.
Outstanding, it worked!! Pretty sad that Apple hadnt fixed this.
Thanks so much! Worked perfectly !
thx- worked for me also
Can't delete Maps history. It keeps coming back.
