For years, Google has used your home or work address to tell you how long you’ll commute, find restaurants nearby, and show you the local weather. You usually don’t need to adjust this, but if you move or if Google guesses your address incorrectly, you can change it. Here’s how.
Google remembers two key addresses for you: home and work. If you’ve never set them, Google will try to guess locations based on where you go and how often you’re there (unless, of course, you’ve given Google permission to track your location). These two addresses are shared across all Google products associated with your account, so if you change it once in one product, it should be updated anywhere. We will look at several ways to change your address, but you can use the one that is more convenient for you.

Also, if you have a Google home page, there is a third «device address» that you can set if your Google home site is not at your usual home address. Skip to the end of the article to find out more.
Update your address with Google Assistant
If you have an Android 6.0 or higher phone, you can update your addresses using Google Assistant. First, open the Assistant by pressing and holding the Home button on your phone. Then press the menu button in the upper right corner and select «Settings».
Scroll down and click «Personal Information».
At the top of the screen, click Homes and Works.
Here you will see your home and work addresses. Click on the one you want to fix.
As you enter an address, Google will suggest suggestions that match the addresses in Google Maps. Select an address from the list of suggestions and click OK.
