How do I view location history of AirTags
Weird. In iPhone 13, I saw a history with a map with recent routes like https://i.pcmag.com/imagery/articles/01i8QCWWx9gXr0TArPQ9v1Y-13.fit_lim.size_768x.jpg.

There is no means for you to view location history of your tags.
You can only check on them “live.”
That left image represent YOUR own history - generated by YOUR phone - when you were traveling with an “unknown” tag.
i.e. It’s a “personal safety” feature showing where someone who YOU don’t know; potentially observed your travel with THEIR AirTag surreptitiously placed on YOUR person.
While the other person can’t see a history of their tag either; they COULD have been watching YOUR movements “live.”

Thanks. I wished it can be done for our own AirTags.
Hello Blah_blah6942,
Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. You can locate your AirTags by following this great user guide. The link and more info can be found below.
Find your keys, backpack, and more with AirTag - Apple Support
"Use Precision Finding to pinpoint the location of your item
If you have a supported iPhone model with Ultra Wideband and your AirTag is nearby,1 you can tap Find Nearby to help find it, even if it's stuck between couch cushions or hiding under a stack of mail.
Find a nearby item
If you don't see the Find button
If you don't see Find Nearby, make sure that you turned on Location Access for the Find My app.
Still don't see Find Nearby? Your AirTag might be out of range of your connected device. Get directions to it first.
Environmental factors, including wall materials or objects between your iPhone and your AirTag, might impact performance.
More ways to find your items
If you misplace an item with an AirTag attached, use the Find My app to see or get directions to its current or last known location. If it's nearby, you can also play a sound from your AirTag's built-in speaker. AirTag uses the Find My network, an encrypted, anonymous network of hundreds of millions Apple devices that can help you find your things.
See your AirTag on the map
If you can't see your AirTag on the map
Play a sound
If your AirTag is in Bluetooth range of your connected device but isn't playing a sound
Get directions
If your iPhone or region doesn't support Ultra Wideband, or your AirTag is outside the range of your device, you can get directions to its location.
We hope this helps.
Cheers!
Clearly it’s technologically possible …
… but Apple is selling a “finding” - vice a “tracking” capability.
Obviously it’s an important distinction for a “Privacy is Inviolate” company …
… and some privacy advocates already called a somewhat “muted” foul on Airtags as-is. (although IMO Apple’s done a phenomenal “tightrope act.”)
