when i try to use backtrack in the compass app on my apple watch 6 (OS 9.1), it says to enable Significant Locations in settings on the iPhone (13pro running iOS 16.1.1). there does not appear to be any place in the iPhone settings to do that. appreciate knowing how to enable Significant Locations to be able to use Backtrack in the compass on the watch...
thanks
Apple Watch Series 6
OK, i did some more searching for the problem of "missing significant locations in iOS 16".. found a non-apple website article and problem solved.... the menu item has moved to a new location
can be found here:
>Privacy
>Location Services
then scroll all the way down to the bottom to find:
>System Services
>Significant Locations
Toggle ON
done... compass backtrack can function now.

Hello elbee187,
Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.
To turn on significant locations, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Significant locations. Tap on Significant locations and then tap the button to turn them on.
Kindest regards.
appreciate the suggestion -- which i have previously found on the internet from my own search efforts. problem is, there is no such menu item -- Significant Locations -- within the Location services submenu... iOS 16.1.1
