Apple Maps will remember where you parked your car. This feature ensures that you never forget where you last parked your car. Maps will show this via CarPlay or Bluetooth.

You will probably find it very useful when you need to park your vehicle in a large city that you are unfamiliar with.

This feature is supposed to work automatically meaning a notification message will appear saying that you parked your car when you leave your car (when your iPhone 18 Pro can no longer detect your car). Tapping the message will take you to Maps where you’ll see a parked-car icon in the Maps app.

If you are experiencing problems with this feature, here is how you can troubleshoot:

Parked Car Not Working? Tips

  1. Show Parked Location is turned on in Settings > Apps > Maps.
  2. Re-pair your iPhone 18 Pro to your car.
  3. Location Services is turned on in Settings > Privacy & Security.
  4. Significant Locations & Routes is turned on in Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services.
  5. In the Settings app, tap Notifications. Tap Maps. Turn on Allow Notifications and select the type of alerts that you want to receive.
