A map opens for the most recent location history, showing your travel route and local landmarks or stops.
The map is zoomable, so you’re free to enlarge it for details.
Use the menu to switch to other dates.
These locations are stored in the configs app.
Here’s how to get there:
TapSettings.
Scroll down and tapPrivacy & Security>Location Services.
TapSystem Servicesat the bottom of the page.
SelectSignificant Locations(calledFrequent Locationsin some versions of iOS).
Scroll to the bottom of the screen to find your location history with names and dates.
Apple stores a limited number of locations and doesn’t provide precise travel details like Google.
The Significant Locations feature provides the place and date on a non-interactive map.
If you don’t want Apple to track you, toggle offSignificant Locationsin the configs app.
For the iPhone’s built-in Location Services, you just need to switch on the Significant Locations feature.
This feature can actually be really useful.
For everything else, you must turn off Location Services.
On Android, go toSettings>Locationand toggle it off.
On iOS, go toSettings>Privacy & Security>Location Servicesto switch location services off.
OpenFind My>People(lower left corner).
Their last location will be available.
