Step-by-Step: Remove a Business from Apple Maps

Step 1: Open Apple Maps

Launch the Apple Maps app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Search for your business location.

Step 2: Access the Business Place Card on Apple Business Connect

Tap your business listing to open its place card (name, address, hours, contact info).

Step 3: Report an Issue

Scroll down and select Report an Issue.

Step 4: Choose “It is closed” or “Does Not Exist”

Apple gives you multiple issue options. Select the one that best matches why you want to remove the business.

Step 5: Provide Details

Explain why the business should be removed (permanently closed, duplicate, wrong listing). Keep it clear and accurate.

Step 6: Submit Your Request

Tap Submit to send your request to Apple Maps.

Step 7: Monitor Progress

Apple will review your report and typically update Maps within a few days. Re-check Apple Maps to confirm the removal.

Alternative: Update Instead of Removing

Sometimes you don’t need to remove your business at all, you just need to update it. This is especially true if your restaurant, shop, or office moved to a new address or changed its hours.
