Find me wrong location plus address.

Anyone ? When I go to find my . It shows that my home is across the street or on the freeway since I live near one . The location even shows a different address . I’ve tried everything reset settings and having precise location on but nothing works It’s like it’s stuck there or as if there’s someone there with my phone 😏. I have an IPhone 18 pro max . my other 2 siblings older phones have no problem with an accurate location . Any help?

Since the iPhone 18 series and the iOS 27 software just have been released, this might be a software issue.

Visit Settings > Apps > Maps > Location > Precise Location (=⦿) to on. You may need to zoom in while viewing your phone location in Find My as zoom also improves the visual accuracy of the location.


I have an iPhone 18 Pro Max and the first paragraph is why I can see my phone at its exact physical location on the map.
