iPhone Apple Maps problem

This was a big problem for me when iOS 11 was first released. I was determined not to install a beta on my phone but I was having a lot of issues with Maps so I gave in and installed 11.1 which fixed Maps for me. Other than restarting the device I don’t know any way to resolve this. I find it interesting that issues I previously had I now see being reported by others. Issues others previously had I now see. iOS 11 has just been a total whack-a-mole release.
I had this happen on 10.3.3. iOS 11 fixed it for me and I haven’t seen it since. Make sure maps is turned off in iCloud too
I tried the toggling of the iCloud/Maps but as you noticed that doesn’t work. I also went to my iPad Pro to delete them and the same thing would occur. You could delete a couple but then you do one more and the others come back just as on my 8 plus. It’s an iCloud issue that just repopulates what you’ve deleted. Reminds me of my Apple Pay issue. The only other option would be to sign out of iCloud but I believe as soon as you sign back in they’ll all be back.
This can only be solved either on the backend at iCloud or by new software.
Don't want your gf to find out you've visiting your sidechick huh. Hahahahah, joke joke
I’m wondering if some of this is due to Siri suggestions. Some of those destinations in the list may be undeletable or at least will eventually reappear.
I've had those disabled all the time basically, but it doesn't seem to affect this issue with maps.

Haven't had that enabled at any point at all. But just enabled and disabled it and looks like that cleared things out (along with favorites).
If you turn that off, and leave it off, all of your favorites will be gone as well. We just want to be able to clear recents and suggestions. And if you turn that back on eventually your recents and favorites will repopulate.

That’s the problem if you leave it off, no more favorites. That’s not an option for me. I also tried going to Location Services/System/Significant locations. I cleared those locations but it didn’t affect the recents in Maps. I don’t know if I lost any other functionality doing that but I thought I’d try.
I had this before but sometimes if you keep trying to delete it then it will stay deleted and won’t appear. You can try force close Maps and try deleting recent history. It’s not as aggressive on the latest beta though.
