iPhone 12 Pro Max
iPhone 12 w/OS 15.1.1 Significant Locations SUMMARY shows 94 locations (2 month date range), but RECENT RECORDS only displays my last location. (the only other option available on this screen is "Clear History"). How do I see the rest?

If you have a MacBook (or any iOS device I am assuming) connected to the same iCloud account, you can go to System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Location Services > scroll to System Services > click “Details…” > Significant Locations, and it’ll show you all of your recorded past locations.
Hope this helps!
today i talked half an hour with the apple support. It's definitely not a bug, apple don’t want to show all of the significant locations to the user. The changed it it from ios 14 to 15.
but the very nice woman told me, if there are enough people, giving feedback on
https://www.apple.com/feedback/
maybe they will bring back the “feature”.
in my opinion, apple doesn’t know, that the user are using this hidden feature for work or for covid-contact tracking.
It would most certainly be useful to me, if it worked. It says I have 88 location records, but only shows me one… and that location is my home… REAL useful, in case I ever forget where I live. It must think I’m Apple, so it won’t let me see it 😂
It’s a pity innocent people in here are trusting your incompetent advice. I’m thankful to have read all the failures before I reset, and deleted everything. How absurd! The sad thing is I believe you’re misguiding people on purpose to get your rocks off.
”Cheers”, Less… than human
Sorry Legion221 that does not come close to solving this long standing problem. Nothing in the video talks about significant locations and is only basic setting adjustments. For most of us here on this thread basic settings have been tried and forgive me, but this seems insulting.
can someone from APPLE software development look into this issue?
Yesterday, I was recommended from tech support to do the following: “Can you please try network reset and then try checking the history :- Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you've used before.”
After doing this step, I cleared my significant locations history. Then I rebooted my phone. Approximately 5.5 hours later, the first record appeared.
Hopefully this works for you as well.
Hello shameeka144,
We want to help address your concern with significant locations not showing.
Go ahead and reference the page here to Delete significant locations on iPhone restart the iPhone and try waiting 24 hours to see if it populates.
Control the location information you share on iPhone with the settings mentioned here.
Making changes there may allow significant locations to work again.
Cheers.
Hmm. I think there-in lies the disconnect, possibly. While I have 94 records under my iPhone's summary, I am showing 0 records on my MacBook. I'll attempt to do some sleuthing but I bet the issue is tied to having 2 devices sharing one iCloud account and the 2 not being able to prioritize and properly categorize which device is located where. Thanks for shining a light in this direction.

But the purpose isn't to show you where you've been. It's to, for example, provide better suggestions in the "location" field in Calendar when you're creating an appointment. It's to provide better data to the Apple apps that use location services.
Yes, I get that people were using the data directly. But that wasn't why the phone was collecting it.
I appreciate your explaining of the issue. I still feel that I should be able to view the records it says it has on me. If nothing else, it would provide me the opportunity to delete insignificant records, aiding Apple in the accuracy of its suggestions. Regardless, when putting things on my calendar, I already know the locations, and Apple isn’t significantly helpful there. I’ve determined it’s tracking of me is not useful, so I won’t be reactivating it. Thanks again!
Same here! Has anyone found out a solution to this? I use my significant locations all the time.
read all this shi, still no solution lmaoo
This is not unexpected from Apple. My suggestion then is for all affected users to shut down this part of their settings. Basically, we are allowing Apple to track us, without being allowed access to the tracking data. I will be shutting it off as soon as I finish posting this message. Maybe, (likely not), once the service has been restored, I may again allow this part of their location services.
I’m having the exact same issue. The one time I actually need to "prove" my whereabouts… 🙄
