How to Change Home Address on Maps Applications on iPhone
If your address change doesn’t take effect immediately using the first two methods, you may restart the map apps to have a check. You can also change the home address directly on your iPhone on the maps application. Whether Apple Maps or Google Maps, the following tips will help you with your issue.
1. Change Home Address on Google Maps On iPhone
If you are using Google Maps as your default maps application on your iPhone, this section will show you how to change the home address on that application. To do so, just follow these steps:

Step 2. This will show you a list of your saved addresses. Tap the three dots to the right of your home address > tap "Edit home".
Step 3. Tap on the search bar and enter your home address to allow Google Maps to load it automatically. You can also tap on Choose on Map if you want to find your address on Google Maps instead of typing it in.
Step 4. Save the changes you have made, and your home address will be updated in Google Maps.

Step 2. In the Map Settings window that appears, tap Report an Issue > tap Home.
If you've never set your home address before, Apple Maps will now take you to the page where you can type and search for your home address. If you have already set a home address, swipe your existing home address to the left and tap Remove.
