Google Maps usually pulls your Home address from your Google Account, so changing it inside the right account is the cleanest fix. If Maps keeps sending you to an old place, update the saved Home address once and it can sync across Google products when you are signed in. You can also remove the saved address or fix the public map pin if the address itself is wrong.
Change Home From Your Google Account
The most common cause is that Google Maps is using the Home address stored in your Google Account. Go to myaccount.google.com in a desktop browser and sign in to the Google Account you use with Google Maps.
Open Personal info and choose Home address. Enter your new address, then select Save.
Open Google Maps while signed in with the same account. Your saved Home address should now match the address you saved in your Google Account.
Use Android Settings
On Android, you can change the same saved Home address without starting in the Maps app. Open the Settings app, choose Google, and open Your profile.
Tap Manage your Google Account and go to Personal info. Choose Home address, then enter the correct address and tap Save. If this method fails, use a browser and change it at myaccount.google.com instead.
Update Home on iPhone or iPad
On iPhone or iPad, use the Google Account page in a browser. Go to myaccount.google.com and make sure you are signed in to the right account.
When you need to switch accounts, use your Profile picture or initial first. Then open Manage your Google Account. Go to Personal info, choose Home address, enter the new address, and select Save.
Open the Home Address Page Directly
Use the Google Account home address settings page when you want the shortest route. Sign in to your Google Account when prompted.
Edit your Home address on that page. Select Save if the page asks you to confirm the change. This changes the Google Account Home address used by Google products, including Google Maps when you are signed in.
Remove a Saved Home Address
This fixes a Home shortcut you no longer want Google Maps to use. On desktop, go to myaccount.google.com and sign in. Open Personal info, choose Home address, and select Remove.
On Android, open Settings and choose Google. Tap Manage your Google Account, go to Personal info, and choose Home address. Select Remove.
On iPhone or iPad, go to myaccount.google.com. Switch accounts from your Profile picture or initial when needed, then open Manage your Google Account. Choose Personal info, choose Home address, and select Remove.
Fix the Public Address or Pin in Maps
Use this when your saved Home is correct, but Google Maps has the address or pin in the wrong public location. On desktop, open Google Maps and search for the address. Choose Suggest an edit, then select Wrong pin location or address. Enter the address information and select Submit.
On Android, open the Google Maps app and search for the address. Choose Suggest an edit and tap Fix an address. Move the map to the center of the building, enter the address information, and tap Submit.
On iPhone or iPad, use the same Google Maps app path and tap Submit after entering the address information. This corrects public map data, not your private saved Home label.
Add a Missing Home Address to Google Maps
A missing street address is different from a wrong saved Home shortcut. You are asking Google to add or update public map information.
On desktop, open Google Maps, open Menu, choose Edit the map, then select Wrong pin location or address. Move and center the map on the address you want to add, enter the address information, and select Submit.
On Android, open the Google Maps app, choose Contribute, then tap Update address. Move the map to the center of the building, enter the address information, and tap Submit.
On iPhone or iPad, open the Google Maps app, choose Contribute, then tap Update address. Move the map to the center of the building, enter the address information, and tap Post.
If this method fails, change your private Home address through your Google Account while Google handles the public address update separately.
Update Google Home Assistant Cars and Apple Watch
These methods all change the same Google Account Home address, using whichever surface you have handy: Google Home, Google Assistant, a car display, or Apple Watch. Use the surface where you see the bad shortcut, but keep the account consistent. What they do not change is the household address set for your home in the Google Home app, which is a separate setting that tells your speakers and displays where they physically sit.
In the Google Home app, tap your Profile picture or Initial and confirm the right account. Open Manage your Google Account, choose Personal Info, and select Home address. Enter your address and tap Save.
To change the household address that tells your Google Home devices where they are, stay in the Google Home app, tap your Profile picture or Initial and confirm the account, then open Home settings, tap the name of your home, and choose Home address. Tap Edit, enter the address, then tap Next and Done.
For Google Assistant on Android, open the Google Home app and go to You, then Your places. Add, change, or delete the address there.
For Google Assistant on iPhone or iPad, open the Google Assistant app, tap your profile image or initial, then go to You and Your places. Add, change, or delete the address from that screen.
In a car with Google Maps built in, open Google Maps from the car home screen, then go to Settings, Edit home or work, Home, and Edit. Availability can depend on the car manufacturer, region, and data plan.
On Apple Watch, open Google Maps, choose Home, Work, or Edit shortcuts, then finish the setup on your iPhone. Google Maps on Apple Watch requires watchOS 5 or greater, iOS 10 or greater, and Bluetooth enabled.
Skip Older Maps App Instructions
The most common reason older instructions do not match your screen is that Google now routes the main Home address change through Google Account settings.
Older guides may send you through the Google Maps app with Settings, Edit home or work, Home, the More or three-dot menu, and Edit home. Treat that as an older path whose availability varies by app rollout and platform.
Use myaccount.google.com, Android Settings, or the iPhone and iPad Google Account path above for the supported Google Account Home address change.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Google Maps still show my old Home address?
Make sure you changed the Home address in the same Google Account you use in Google Maps. The saved Home address is tied to your Google Account.
Is changing my Google Account Home address the same as fixing my house pin on Google Maps?
No. Your Google Account Home address is private to your account. A wrong public address or pin needs a Maps edit through Suggest an edit or Contribute.
Can I delete my Home address instead of replacing it?
Yes. Open your Google Account Personal info, choose Home address, and use Remove instead of entering a new address.
Does reinstalling Google Maps remove my Home address?
No. The Home address is stored with your Google Account, so uninstalling the Maps app does not change it.
