How to Remove Your Business from Apple Maps (2026 Guide)

If your business has closed, moved, rebranded, or is mistakenly listed on Apple Maps, you’ll want to remove or update the listing before customers end up at the wrong place. A single outdated address can lead to frustrating experiences, bad reviews, and lost revenue — all easy problems to avoid once you know where to update your information.

‍

This guide walks you through the simplest, most reliable ways to remove a business listing from Apple Maps, and when it’s better to update the listing instead.

‍

Why You Might Want to Remove a Listing

Most businesses remove an Apple Maps listing for a few common reasons:

• The business has closed permanently
• You’ve moved to a new address
• An old or duplicate location is still showing
• Your business is listed by mistake
• You’re rebranding and need a fresh start

‍

Whatever your situation, the goal is the same: customers should never be misled by outdated information online. Apple Maps is one of the first sources people check, so accuracy matters.

How to Remove a Business from Apple Maps Using Apple Business Connect

If you prefer to do it directly, follow these steps:

Step 1: Sign in to Apple Business Connect

• Go to businessconnect.apple.com and sign in with your Apple ID.

‍

Step 2: Choose the Location

• Open “Locations” and select the location you want to remove. If you don’t see your business, you may need to claim the listing first.

‍

Step 3: Mark the Business as Closed

• Open the business information section. Look for the option to mark the business as “Closed” or “Permanently Closed.”
• If the location no longer exists at all, some accounts also show a “Remove Location” or “Delete Location” option. Apple may ask for verification if the listing looks active.

‍

Step 4: Save and Wait for Approval

• Save your changes. Apple usually reviews removal requests within a few days.
  Once processed, your listing will either disappear or show as permanently closed.
• Check Apple Maps after a few days to confirm the update.

How to Remove Your Listing If You Don’t Have Apple Business Connect Access

If you’re unable to log in or you’re not the original owner of the listing, you can still request removal directly from Apple Maps.

Open AppleMaps and search for yout business

‍

Tap the listing to open the place card

‍

Scroll down and tap "Report an Issue"

Choose “This place is closed” or “This place doesn’t exist.”

Submit your request.

‍

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

‍

When You Should Update Instead of Removing

Many businesses don’t actually need to be removed — they just need updated information. Removing a listing can make you harder to find, especially if you’re still open but operating under a new name, moved to a new address, or changed your hours.

Here are quick fixes you can make instead of deleting the listing:

‍

If your business moved

Open Apple Maps
Report an Issue
Select “Incorrect Location”
Add your new address and submit

‍

If your hours are wrong

Open your place card
Report an Issue
Select “Incorrect Business Hours”
Submit the correct schedule

‍

If you rebranded

Update your name, website, phone number, and photos through Apple Business Connect.

These updates are usually approved faster than removal requests, and they prevent customers from losing track of your business.

Helpful Tips

• If your business closed or moved, update your website and social channels too — customers still check these first.
• Search your business on Google Maps, Facebook, Yelp, and similar platforms after updating Apple Maps to make sure no outdated listings remain.
• If you’re managing more than one location, use Mobal to update or remove them everywhere at once.
