If your business has closed, relocated, or is incorrectly listed, you may want to remove it from Apple Maps. An outdated or duplicate listing can confuse customers, hurt your reputation, and even cost you sales.
In this guide, you’ll learn step by step how to remove a business from Apple Maps, and when it’s smarter to update your information instead.
Find out how to edit your business hours on Apple Maps
Launch the Apple Maps app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Search for your business location.
Tap your business listing to open its place card (name, address, hours, contact info).
Scroll down and select Report an Issue.
Apple gives you multiple issue options. Select the one that best matches why you want to remove the business.
Explain why the business should be removed (permanently closed, duplicate, wrong listing). Keep it clear and accurate.
Tap Submit to send your request to Apple Maps.
Apple will review your report and typically update Maps within a few days. Re-check Apple Maps to confirm the removal.
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.

Removing your business from Apple Maps is simple, just use the Report an Issue feature and select the option that fits (closed, duplicate, or doesn’t exist). But if your business is still active, it’s usually better to update your address, hours, or contact details so customers can continue to find you.
By keeping your Apple Maps information accurate, you protect your reputation and make it easier for customers to choose your business.
