SIGNIFICANT LOCATIONS: History on iPhone but won't show info on Mac

I desperately need to view some of my Significant Location data from my iPhone. On the iPhone it shows I have a Summary or 345 records. But I cannot view any actual data.

So I have been told to connect my phone to my Mac and simply open up Location Services / System Services / Significant Locations / Details.

I do this but when I click Details it shows "0" ZERO records.

How can I view the 345 Records on my iPhone?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

I wouldn't rely on significant locations to track drives for work. If it's that important to track, you'll want actual software that will do the job or a good old-fashioned notebook. Yes, locations were accessible for a short time but they no longer are.

Apparently you used to be able to see your travel locations but after updating to iOS 15 (I think that is what others have said) the functionality went away.

you can see on your phone your individual trips but you can’t see any details.

You cannot. The data is not user accessible.

Then why are people using it for work to track their drives, etc? And there are tutorials everywhere that said it worked just fine until people updated their iPhones to OS 15 or newer.

Well hells bells. That's not cool. Needed to show a route for a different purpose. Ugh. Thanks

if it’s not user accessible, do you know who has access to it? It’s recorded somewhere..
