Location Summary
Under Significant Locations there is a Summary of all my locations. How do I access them?
You can't.
While you might not see a list of your frequently visited places on your iPhone, your device is cleverly learning your routines behind the scenes. This feature is called Significant Locations. It uses anonymized location data to understand where you spend the most time, like your home, workplace, or favorite gym.
But How Does It Help?
Even though you can't directly view your Significant Locations, this information is used to personalize your iPhone experience in several ways:
- Maps: Get a heads-up about traffic delays on your regular commute or receive suggestions for nearby restaurants based on your lunchtime location.
- Calendar: See estimated travel times when adding event locations, making scheduling appointments a breeze.
- Photos: Enhance your memories with automatic location tags, helping you remember exactly where that picture-perfect moment happened.
Taking Control
While Significant Locations are a convenient feature, you always have the option to disable it or clear the data entirely. This will reset the personalized features that rely on this information.
Here's how to access Significant Locations:
- Go to Settings > Privacy & Security.
- Tap Location Services.
- Select System Services.
- Choose Significant Locations.
From there, you can review the feature or choose to turn it off completely.
