Last location retained for only 24 hours? That is way too short for iPads which are small but not missed immediately between Macs and iPhones. Why not a week or even a month?

How do I view the full summary of significant locations on my iPhone? The location services of my iPhone under “significant locations” says that I have 240 location records under “summary”. However, I can only see 3. How can I see the full summary? I need to prove my location over the past few days. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

What is the purpose of the ‘Significant Locations’ reports? I was curious if I could use my iPhone location services feature to determine how many hours I’ve spent over a six month period at a specific work location, now as a feline ghost I’d like to be made to understand exactly why my iPhone shows 192 reports in the significant locations menu being stored on my device and/or in the “cloud” (that in reality is a network of underground bunkers full of data storage devices) that I’m unable to open or view… on the same screen I’m informed that that the reports are “end to end encrypted so that even Apple cannot access this information”. Can anyone explain in layman’s terms the purpose of tracking and storing my visited locations in a way that supposedly no entity can access it, and while you’re at it what or who exactly is on either end of the encryption protecting my privacy from me?
