Investigated
Community testing confirmed that Apple Maps is restricted in Syria. The map view loads and the device location is shown, but the Custom Routes feature is unavailable, returning a banner that reads «Custom routes are not available in this region». Base mapping functions remain accessible.
Work at Apple Maps? Know someone who does?
You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at Apple Maps or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
