Labels in Google Maps are used to show what you need to know about a location. You can create different lists of labels to add places to visit. Labels also serve as information centers for hours of operation, directions, and reviews.

Thus, Google Maps is a fairly versatile service because labels are easy to manage. You can remove custom labels that you don’t need from your lists. You can do this using any device.

You cannot in the mobile version remove all names on any location to get only roads, streets, and only buildings maps.

However, despite this, you can use the iPhone and the mobile version of Google Maps to manage your labels created. That is, you can create and delete existing labels only those that you have added yourself. These labels will also appear in the mobile app if you have been driving in one direction for a long time and Google Maps will use that location by default. In order to delete your labels in Google Maps using an iPhone, you need to follow these steps:

• The first step to delete your labels using an iPhone is to open the Google Maps app on your iPhone.
• Then after that select ‘Saved’ on the home page in the middle of the bottom panel.
• After that you will open your list where you need to select ‘Labelled’.

• Then click on the three dots in front of the desired location.
• From the selected options click on ‘Remove‘.

At this point, you can’t only delete, but also change and edit. So if you need to make edits to a label you’ve created, you can also edit it instead of deleting it.
