How to see Significant Locations on iPhone

Significant Locations worked fine in IOS14. I used it for tracking time spent on different job sites for invoicing projects. It was simple and worked fine.

I absolutely get that the significant locations no longer works for you in the way that you were using it. That's the unfortunate part of using a feature in a different way that Apple meant for it to be used. It may work for a while and then, Apple goes and changes things and it doesn't work anymore. And that's frustrating. I really do understand.

Dear Mr Apple. Please do not keep breaking the toys that I buy from you. I realize that sometimes you make it better and sometimes you screw it up. Please fix the significant location feature that you broke. I do hate that you can tell where I am even more than I do, but my consolation is that you use to share the info with me; now who knows who gets this info! But not me anymore. This really really really stinks. Really. Boy; I am so good: no really big vulgar language... thank you in case you ever come to your senses and remember that we exist, we have needs and feelings and when you make our lives just a little worse with your decision to stop sharing MY INFORMATION with me but keep providing it to whomever... Anyway.... fix the thing!

Of course. I should have been more clear myself. I meant that I hope they respond by way of making the change that we all want.

Just wanted to make sure you weren't going to be disappointed. I also hope you get the change you want.

Best of luck.

there is NO way I would purchase a Mac when I agave spent PLENTY on iPhones for myself and my family over the years, and there’s nothing to stop Apple from removing this information from the Mac??! Duh!

I guess you didn't bother to read the rest of the thread before posting.

I have same issue; please bring this back to normal. Use for work. Need to view the history.

No one reading here can "bring this bacK. Submit your feedback to Apple using the link that has been repeatedly provided.

Apple have no interest in listening to us and will not reinstate this function, we however will continue to be loyal and allow Apple to empty our wallets of cash.

I suggest you all just use the functionality of Timeline in google maps as that does what we are asking.

log in to your google account and turn on timeline tracking.

Yes, they do listen but that doesn't mean they are always going to change things. A recent example where they did change things was the date/time picker in the calendar. It had been changed to a number pad (which I loved) but lots of people didn't like. Apple changed it back. Speculating on whether they will make a change in this case would be outside the T&Cs of this forum.

Would this work if I purchased a new mac book or only if you already have one linked to your account?

As I understand it, it no longer works at all.

You'll need to try one of the other solutions suggested earlier in the thread.

Thank you. I did. I tried to adjusting my date and time manually. This gave me three locations and times. Does not give me all the details I need or the specific times I need, but it is definitely better than nothing.

Then what’s the point of having it!!???

The significant locations still do what exactly Apple intended them to do: "Allow your iPhone and iCloud connected devices to learn places significant to you in order to provide useful location-related information in Maps, Calendar, Photos, and more.".

Hahaha. Good one 9895 twelve.

i have an iphone 13 and a macbook air. They are synced.

i can go to significant locations on the mac and the history is there. So for me i can at least still track my work times on site locations.

How much $ does Apple give you to lurk on these forums and provide vaguely unhelpful solutions to people’s privacy concerns? And how can I get in on it? Is it a work from home type thing?

I was not addressing privacy concerns. I was addressing how a feature works. The person to whom I was replying wasn't asking about privacy. Also, if you read the rest of the information I quoted from (Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services>Significant Locations), it says " Significant locations are end-to-end encrypted and cannot be read by Apple."

If you explain what your privacy concerns are perhaps someone can address them. But, it won't be Apple here in this user-to-user forum.

Read the question again. Your answer is not the answer what was asked. We need to get the access to significant locations. We know, where we can see it, but it shows only the summary, not every location, as it used to show before Apple took it silently away. . And whoever from Apple suggested this as an answer, should get some dignity!

Yes, it’s been a year, as others wrote, we are able to reach and view recent records in significant locations but are unable to view all records except for the last 2 locations, has anyone noted a solution to open it up.

A solution will be much appreciated.

Thanks jamesmaka1

I want to be able to see my location history in its entirety… Not just the last 3 places… this feature had multiple purposes for use and was more than just helpful… it really angers me that this feature is gone why even show me that I have 133 significant locations if I can only view 3 ??? Please bring the ability to view “ALL” of ur significant locations back ASAP thanks
