Apple Maps is being upgraded to understand users' commutes better and offer recommendations based on traffic, as announced during WWDC.
The updated Maps in iOS 26 will learn users' preferred commute routes for home, work, or other frequent destinations, providing suggestions in the app.
Even if directions are not started on a common route, iPhone will suggest alternate routes to avoid traffic delays, assisting users in reaching their destinations on time.
Users can also enable iPhone to remember visited places like restaurants or shops, view them in the Maps library, delete information easily, and ensure data security with end-to-end encryption.
