Ads Aren't in the Apple Maps App Yet, But They're Coming Soon

Apple says ads are not yet live in Apple Maps.

iOS 26.5 adds a new Suggested Places feature that lays groundwork for future ad placements.

Apple plans to bring Maps ads to the U.S. and Canada this summer, with placements in search results and Suggested Places.

The ads will be labeled and use bidding-based placement without tying ad activity to an Apple account.
