You can only see the most recent locations. Apple changed this a while ago; while the locations are available for internal use by iOS, they can’t all be viewed. I am not sure of the reason, but as an educated guess it’s because having a full list of locations available that might be viewable by government or law enforcement it can jeopardize the privacy of the phone owner. There have been several instances reported in the press of people wrongfully stopped by police because they happened to be near the scene of a crime.

Hi ibenfrederiksberg,


You may find what you are looking for in Significant Locations on the iPhone. To access this information you will need the passcode or Face ID, whichever one you currently use.


Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services, then tap Significant Locations.


To Delete significant locations on iPhone will help you clear the history.


Let us know if you have further questions.



Take care!
