Navigation apps can retain a home location through saved places, route history, contacts, account activity, or synchronized devices. The appropriate cleanup steps differ by app and operating system.

Read the privacy guide here: [https://www.whatismyip.com/navigation-app-privacy-home/?utm\_source=community&utm\_medium=social&utm\_campaign=pipeline-355&utm\_content=topic](https://www.whatismyip.com/navigation-app-privacy-home/?utm_source=community&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=pipeline-355&utm_content=topic)

- Which step successfully removed or replaced your saved home location?
- Did the address continue to appear in suggestions, history, contacts, a vehicle system, or another synchronized device?
- Which navigation app, operating system, and permission or history settings were involved?

Helpful technical details include the app and operating-system versions, whether you were signed into an account, which devices were synchronized, and the general setting that resolved the issue.

**Please do not share your home address, exact coordinates, recognizable nearby landmarks, account information, or unredacted screenshots and route histories.**
