And if you plan to travel somewhere else, you’ll also find that it’s a handy app for navigating walking directions – along with public transport and more.

The process for adding work and home locations in Apple Maps is the same if you do it on your iPhone and iPad. Follow the instructions listed below to achieve your desired result.

  1. Open your contact card in the Phone app on your iPhone.
  2. Select Edit in the top right-hand corner of your device.
  3. Scroll down until you see the add address banner. Select the + icon next to it.
  4. To change whether it’s a home or work address, select the bit where you see “home” typed. This will open the Label window; here, you can choose whichever best fits your needs. You can also pick from school or other, along with adding your own custom label.
  5. Click on Done once you’ve added your address.

Adding your home and work locations to Apple Maps can make it much easier to get to those places. You can check real-time public transport information, and you’ll also be able to see how long you can expect your journey to take. Regardless of whether you use an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you shouldn’t struggle too much to add your addresses.

Once you’ve added your home and work addresses to Apple Maps, make sure you keep these updated. If you need to do that, remove your old addresses and follow the steps we’ve outlined in this article again.
