Updating Apple Maps on iPad for New Features
Like Apple’s other built-in apps, such as Safari, Notes, and Mail, Maps is updated automatically when a new operating system version is released. So with iPadOS 15, for example, you’ll receive the updated Maps app with its new features when you upgrade your iPad to the newest system version. Go to Settings > General > Software Update to see if your iPad is up to date or if an iPadOS update is available.
Updating Apple Maps on iPad for Solving Problems
If you’re having problems with your current version of Maps, such as issues with finding your location or getting incorrect information, you might be wondering if you can update the app manually. There is no handy button to update Maps manually, but there are several things you can check to try to solve problems. Here they are in order. If it’s new Maps features you want, consider updating your iPadOS version. But if it’s trouble you’re having with Apple Maps, hopefully updating a setting or two fixes the problem. Select Maps and confirm you have While Using the App or Widgets checked. Make sure the toggle is turned on and you are connected. Make any necessary changes or enable Set Automatically for your iPad to handle it. Launch the App Switcher and swipe up on the app to close it. Then navigate to Maps on your iPad and open it again.
