Pls pls pls help: a police investigation about drugs is at a standstill bc I can’t remember where I was on a certain day. Can anyone help me access the location history on my iPhone?

So, I suffer from complex PTSD which in my case comes with seizures and tons of dissociative amnesia, which means I don’t remember about 25% of what happened at any given time.


A couple weeks ago my backpack got stolen which was really bad bc it had a pretty big amount of drugs in it - drugs to stop my seizures - but they obviously can also be abused as recreational drugs. The backpack turned up again, but the cash and the drugs were gone. The police is still looking for the guys that took it bc of the amount of drugs they stole.


The problem is, the time frame where I thought I was in the tram omw home, I apparently wasn’t, bc they reviewed all the security footage and couldn’t find me or my backpack anywhere.

I have a tile tracker in my med bag but tiles aren’t as common here, so the location doesn’t update that often.


My google timeline sadly was turned off, so I can’t recreate my whereabouts that way. But my iPhone says it has a 180 records history of my locations over the course of the last two months. But somehow I can’t access it, if I tap on it, nothing happens. The police need to know where I was when the backpack got stolen (and tbh I kinda need to know too), so getting access to this information would really be crucial for me.



this is what the screen looks like when I click on privacy -> significant locations. I wish I could access these 180 locations but I don’t know how to.


Can anyone help me?


(Btw: I now have AirTags and they work much better here (Austria) bc the community is much bigger. But I only got them after my backpack got stolen, so they obviously can’t really help me in retrospect.


can anyone help? Please?

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 17
