Location services/ significant locations

I ask him to give me his phone and he gives it to me, so he’s consenting. If he’s not aware of this feature that’s his problem. You have the option to turn off this feature. Your comment doesn’t apply to my situation.

In the same boat.

It’s been over a month now. Where is the fix? You are costing us hours of work etc because we cannot access something that was depended on for years, regardless of other iOS updates.

Did you see my reply above? It shows all of that.

Also, not trying to minimize anyone's experience here, and so this suggestion is for purposes in the future, but people doing courier work might find something like the Tyme app useful as a primary source for this information.

Thanks! I new it should have had that feature, but didn't find it. Somehow I forgot to check under the Settings. Now at least I have the days to the iOS update, but after that still don't have, because I haven't run the app after the update, and you have to give permissions again. But at least some money is not lost.

did you even read his question? or are you just a computer generated answer? Apple have changed things again I need and use this info for my work time sheets niw I've got nothing to view for the month of October so I wont be getting paid, How do we view the places we've been?

THIS IS ABSURD! I rely on this monthly to track my mileage. I manage multiple locations for work and this helps me keep track monthly rather than from memory. Argh Apple get your Ish together. I wish I would’ve known otherwise I would’ve waited in the update.

*SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!*

Some of you have been so seriously impacted by this unannounced take away that I wouldn’t be surprised to see legal action taken against Apple. I can’t believe Apple could have so little regard for their loyal customers that they would do something like this. For years I have tried to defend Apple against negative allegations by Android loyalists but I am beginning to understand their feelings.

Hopefully they will bring back the presumably abandoned feature...

What I don't understand: If Apple really doesn't want to give out this data as of iOS15 - why does Apple still write the number of visited locations in the "Summary" at all? That doesn't make any sense anymore.

I rather hope that it is a bug that will be fixed.

btw: It would be a good idea for Apple to get back to us here in the forum with a reasonable answer, wouldn't it?

This feature only proves that the iPhone was at a certain location, it doesn’t prove that the owner of the phone was at that location. What happens if you lend your iPhone to a buddy and have them go to a certain location while you go to another location? I cannot see how this feature proves that a person was at a certain location and I doubt this location feature can provide proof where legal proof of location is required. If you want to prove location then take selfies with dates, times and unique landmarks.

I don't need legal. I just need it to work like it did. Like rhianna208, I use it to track work hours on location. It's not on the iPhone or iPad but the location history can be seen on my Mackbook. Apple told me it is because the MacBook has a different os from the iPhone and iPad. But it doesn't update seamlessly or daily. Just weird and I should have kept ios14 on my phone. Duh.

Legal or not, this feature only proves that the iPhone was at a certain location, it doesn’t prove that a person was at a certain location. If I were an employer I certainly wouldn’t rely on a feature that allows someone to let their phone travel with another party while the owner sits at home watching TV.. because that is exactly what this feature allows.

I have an issue with this too - I have used this feature previously for confirming where I have been for submitting timesheets etc but have just been pinged by the NHS covid app about an exposure from a couple of weeks ago so wanted to see where I was on the day but cannot find out… although it looks like Apple has the information - just not letting their customers see it any more??? Please can this be turned on again as soon as possible?

I don't see how the info (that's in the cloud anyway because I can see it on my Mac running Big Sur) gives away personal information. To who exactly? It's in my secure iCloud. 

I go online and find that you can do location history with the Google Maps app. I have not tried that though. Do you know of third party apps? I don't want to put Google Maps on my iPhone because they don't play nice together in the car...

If I did not update the iPhone to OS15 and was still on OS14 it would be working. 

So if I'm understanding you correctly the only way someone can view the information is if they have access to my phone?

So someone would have to steal my phone and know how to unlock it. I don't understand how my encrypted iCloud information or my locked phone can be accessed without my allowing it.

Thanks for your answer. I'm looking through third party apps now but they are mostly for tracking employees. I just want to track my personal work time on various job sites for accurate billing hours and jobs.

Any suggestions would be very helpful.
