Is Apple Maps not showing Home / Work address from your iOS Contact Card? This potential iOS 14.3 bug was reported by Stefan and we could replicate it to a certain extend. We did manage to import the Home and Work addresses from the Contact Card, but aren't able to add the Home address back to the Favorites section!

How To Fix Apple Maps Home & Work Not Showing

1. Fill In The Blanks

If Maps won't automatically import the Home and Work addresses from your Contact Card, make sure that you've added them properly. You have to fill in all required fields:
– Both Street entries (number and name)
– The Postal Code
– City
– Country (it should be automatically recognized by iOS)
Fact: If a single one is missing, Maps won't be able to pinpoint your exact location and data won't be synced.

2. Add To Favorites

If you accidentally removed Home and Work from favorites you can re-add them by searching for 'My Home', or 'My Work'. Tap the result and swipe-up to display the expanded Home/Work view. Use the Add to Favorites option available at the end of the card.
Bug: This is the point where we aren't able to add Home back to Favorites. A tap grays out the icon and 'Add to Favorites' remains blue. It isn't replaced by the red 'Remove from Favorites' label that would confirm the successful addition. Are you encountering the same problem?

3. Change Card

Last but not least you can create a new contact with the same credentials but a slightly different name. When ready assign the new contact as your new Contact Card!
How To: Open Settings and browse for Contacts -> My Info. Search the Contacts list and assign the desired entry! Are the Home and Work addresses synced to Apple Maps now?
Tip: Of course, don't forget about the good old iPhone restart trick, if none of the above works!

How To Add Home And Work Address In Apple Maps

iOS is able to automatically recognize your Home and Work locations, if you've configured them in your Contact Card. Else, you're prompted to add them as soon as you open Apple Maps:

You're informed that Apple Maps uses the Home, Work and School addresses configured in the Contact Card. If you haven't set it up, or if you need to update it, tap on Open My Contact Card.
Tap on add address.
A home address form opens up by default. Fill it up!
Tap add address again to add a work location.
Tip: You can also tap the address type to change it for school, or any other custom label!
Finally, tap Done when ready and your Home, Work and School addresses will be saved as Favorites in Apple Maps!

How To Edit Your Contact Card

Open the Contacts app.
Tap on My Card, available at the top of the screen.
