Location services/ significant locations

I also lost access to view my previous locations since last update. I hope apple fixes this issue soon

This lost option is a deal breaker for me as it was a way for me to invoice my moving on the job I need to see my history ASAP

Same here, my wife thought I deleted my track because I’m hiding something......OMG. Apple better fixes this ASAP.

Same for me, I’m waiting to do an invoice and have always used this feature to do it and now I can’t access the data. Why change something that wasn’t causing any issues?

This is really awful for me. I was not expecting to lose access to my locations. I rely on this for work 😞

I used SL to track my mileage at work. All that data seems lost now. I won’t be able to report my drive logs and get reimbursed. They shouldn’t had trashed this function. It’s so useful.

It is an problem in iOS 15.1

I have the same problem. I have an iPhone Xs Max. I rely on the significant locations for many things. I am not happy with Apple for not releasing an update to patch this yet. Thankfully I did not update my iPad. I hope this gets fixed immediately.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who uses this feature for business tracking purposes, although not so glad to see that there's no easy workaround.

Has anyone tried this suggestion of turning off location tracking, rebooting, the turning it back on? That certainly sounds like it will delete all existing records, which would rather defeat the point if there were records I wanted to be able to look at, so I'm reluctant to even try it.

For what it's worth, this data not being accessible goes beyond just being loss of a very useful feature for those of us who are bad at time tracking for work; the fact that there is fairly sensitive data being stored that is completely inaccessible to the user is fundamentally problematic.

Same problem (13 pro) here in the Netherlands… I also use this option for work/travel time, and even to find out how late I got home after a good drink… my daughter’s XS en Xr have the same issue after updating. Hope this will soon be fixed.

I use this feature to track my overtime, I’ve literally lost all of my hours due to this update.

** also with the new “focus” feature, I can no longer add an auto reply text from one device without having all of my devices silenced.

this update has caused me more grief for work than help.

Apple changing this has cost my a lot of hours that I now cannot charge customers for.

This may result in a loss of thousands of pounds for me.

thanks apple for letting everyone know that this feature would be inoperable after this update.

how can my phone be storing data about where I have been without giving me the option to download my information? It that even legal?

I can definitely say that when my contract is up for renewal I will be switching from Apple to another manufacturer.

I have stuck with Apple for well over 10 years, I have iPads, iPhones and macs but I will slowly be moving away from Apple, never to return if this issue is not sorted.

My husband cheated on me and all I can see is a summary of his locations. He’s too stupid to know about this feature. I’m LIVID that all the sudden this has changed. SERIOUSLY??!! It’s time to get rid of Apple.

Btw sorry it’s causing issues in your relationship. Seriously. I know how stressful it is.

While I'm sympathetic to your situation, it's probably worth noting that using this feature to track the locations of a cheating spouse is the sort of use case that is almost certainly the reason that this information is no longer visible to the user. Personal time tracking is innocuous and very useful. Looking at a spouse or relative's phone, presumably without their knowledge or consent, could be a potentially dangerous privacy breech.

Let's say a spouse, rather than cheating, was seeking legal assistance to get out of an abusive relationship. Said abusive spouse being able to get into their phone to see every location they had traveled in the last two months could result in a genuinely dangerous situation.
