If customers have ever arrived at your restaurant or shop only to find the doors locked, there’s a good chance Apple Maps was showing the wrong opening hours. It’s a small detail that can easily cost you a sale, a positive review, or a loyal customer. The good news is that fixing your hours on Apple Maps is straightforward, and once you know where to look, it takes just a couple of minutes.
Keeping your hours accurate across the internet is also an important ranking factor. When your information is consistent everywhere, Apple is more likely to trust it and show it to users. Here’s how to update your opening hours and make sure they stay correct.
Apple Maps pulls its data from Apple Business Connect, so that’s where all changes start. If you’ve used Google Business Profile before, the process will feel familiar.





Pro tip: Apple’s official Business Connect help center offers additional support if you get stuck.
Even if you’ve never touched your Apple listing, your hours can still change. Apple cross-checks information across the web. If your hours differ on Google, Facebook, Yelp, or Foursquare, Apple may assume those platforms are correct and adjust your listing to match them.
User-submitted edits can also override your information, especially if your listing isn’t verified or hasn’t been updated in a long time.
This is why some businesses keep finding incorrect hours even after fixing them — Apple is trying to “correct” data that appears inconsistent.
If your hours still look wrong after editing them, check for common issues:
