  5. Open a guide to see the places in it.

These are Apple Maps collections for discovering locally relevant places. Apple says its suggestions draw on what people view, share, and interact with most in Maps. Apple also says the trend insights behind Local Lists are designed with privacy in mind and are not tied to individual users. Apple’s June 2026 announcement describes Local Lists as a U.S. feature, while Apple Support documents its use in select U.S. cities.

Why Local Lists may not appear

Apple documents Local Lists as available in select U.S. cities. Its support directions do not provide a complete city list, so there is no reliable way to confirm availability for every location from Apple’s published guidance. If searching “Local Lists” does not return a Guides result, the feature may not be available in your area. Apple’s documentation does not establish another specific cause or a setting that enables Local Lists.

Local Lists versus your own custom guides

Local Lists are surfaced collections for discovery; custom guides are lists you assemble and manage yourself. Use a Local List to browse places selected for local relevance, or create a custom guide when you want a personal shortlist or itinerary.

Save one place instead of an entire guide

To keep a single spot, save the place to Places from its place card. You can add a personal note there. Apple says notes remain personal: if you share the place, a note may appear as text with the shared link, but it is not added to the recipient’s notes. See Add places and notes to your Places in Maps on iPhone.
