What? Are you saying Apple disabled my ability to view my location history on my Iphone? If so, what “apps” can I use to get this info?

From Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services>Significant Locations:


Allow your iPhone and iCloud Connected devices to learn places significant to you in order to provide useful location-related information in Maps, Calendar, iPhotos and more. Significant Locations are end-to-end encrypted and cannot be read by Apple.

So, in order to perform the functions for which Apple intended to collect the data, it's not necessary for the end-user to be able to look at it. You can certainly let apple know you'd like a different sort of feature here:

There are, I'm sure, lots of apps that will let you track your location history. I believe Google has ways of doing that if you have a Google account (I won't even begin to talk about the privacy ramifications there). An app that has been recommended by a couple of people is called Life Cycle.
