It used to work fine. So I could set it to direct me home from work and vice versa. However it has now stopped
 
I dont think the Apple Maps currently has the provision for driving directions etc.
You're joking I'm sure.

Anyone else having having issues with Maps?

No matter what location I search for the only option I get is to book a ride. It will not give me driving or walking directions and I can't even select to choose either of those.

Phone is iPhone 7 Plus

Tried all the usual the troubleshooting steps but nothing works. Google Maps & Waze work perfectly fine.
Working just fine for me. Any location I pull up seems to give me all the options for directions (drive, walk, transit, ride). Maybe a county or city specific problem?
 
I'm in Amman in Jordan

Edit. Having looked at Apple Maps site it appears they don't support driving directions. Don't understand why as all the detail is there.

Completely off topic but can anyone tell me if running beta is the reason why my iPhone hasn't updated to all the new Facebook features including the color background while all other iPhones have ?????

Did your settings possibly get changed to load a blank tab when opening Safari? That's how I have mine set as I prefer it, but maybe it was changed on yours during an update?

Sorry, I forgot the way I "changed this setting." I actually went into iCloud and turned off Safari so that it no longer syncs the favorites to my phone. Therefore, no favorites equals blank new safari tabs. Perhaps Safari got turned off in iCloud?
 
If you have same version of app and someone gets, but you don't and vice versa, then it's server side.



Then it is the server side. How do I fix that or is that fixable or is this something Facebook will have to fix via update ? Since you can't get in contact with them idk what to do

Tried rapidly tapping on the Updates tab (or any tab in App Store) 10 times to reset the App Store?
 
Great. I would restart your phone.



I even deleted the Facebook app before I did that. I restarted it and redownloaded the Facebook app and it's the same thing smh. I'm blown away by this. I know my Facebook is running the updated version but everyone else's has the newer features.

Sorry, I don't have Facebook so I can't test myself. Is it a setting within the app by chance?

Facebook rolls out things differently for different groups of people and sometimes they don't roll everything out to everyone for a while or even ever (sometimes they just do some tests of some features that some see and others don't or others see something else and in the end only one of those starts making out to the public over time or even none of them).

In the end you have what you have what Facebook provides and it can be different from others and there's not much that can usually be done aside from Facebook changing something.

Damn well hopefully they fix it soon. It's been like 3 weeks that everyone else had those features on the iPhone. It's frustrating. Oh well I guess I'll wait.

It may be ABX/AB testing. Back when 10.3 was still in beta, I got the WhatsApp Status feature first, but I didn't get the About feature until I downgraded back to 10.2.1.

Well hopefully zuckerberg and his team fix this soon or I'll have to drive up north to the Bay Area and give his entire crew stone cold stunners.

It's a way for large services like Facebook to test if users like a feature or not, as well as gather data to improve their services and future additions. It's not necessarily a bad thing, and isn't something that needs to be 'fixed'.
