How to Rename Favorites in Apple Maps

The Favorites feature in Apple Maps gives you one-tap access to locations you frequently visit. But what if you don’t want to see the names of apartment buildings or townships? Here’s how you can customize and rename your favorite locations using your iPhone.

How to Add Favorites in Apple Maps

First, open the Apple Maps app. If you can’t find it, use the built-in Spotlight Search feature to locate the app.

Next, use the search bar to look for a place you want to add to your Favorites. Once you find it, swipe up on the card to expand it. Scroll all of the way to the bottom of this page.

Here, you’ll find the “Add to Favorites” button. Once you tap on it, the location will be added to your Favorites section.
