Nowadays, many iPhone users are saving their home addresses for quick navigation using Apple Maps or Google Maps app. These apps can identify your location with the respective address that you have entered in the personal contact card. However, if you have moved to a new location, your iPhone won’t detect or change your home address automatically. Therefore, you have to modify it yourself.
