Location services/ significant locations

Why can’t I view my summary in significant locations where it shows how many records I have? I want to look at my previous locations and the only thing I can click on is my recents which only shows two things and nothing more…

I rely on my significant location history to invoice my clients for time spent. This update is not the first time that I’ve had issues with my location tracking. It is clear that the data is there, but like others have said, only a summary and the most recent four, and even on those 4 I cannot pull any detailed info as to the time I was actually there.


This is an imperative function for business owners and independent contractors who bill for hourly work.

Exactly Newchamp, its rediculous to see on my iPhone in the Summary portion of Significant Locations that there are 70 Records (or whatever number of records, it changes) and they cannot be accessed. Big mistake by the coders. On my mac the Significant Locations are up to date to November 18, 2021 and today is Dec. 1. Big lag there, don't know if they will ever update. I sent in feedback to Apple.

The only solution I can find is to find someone with macOS Big Sur (or downgrade your own system; creating a virtual machine in Parallels Desktop - free trial - is also possible) or earlier and create an account on their computer and log in to your Apple ID. System preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy tab -> System Services -> Details. Should be there. Worked on my new Big Sur install. Let me know if it works for you.


My Monterey Machine doesn't work. So Apple purposefully removed it. I'm all for privacy, and I get how the feature can be abused by nasty relatives and so forth, but if you are going to remove something like this, you **** well better tell people in big flashing letters.
