Significant Location records?

I am writing to request assistance with regard to the Significant Location feature on my device. It currently holds 347 records, all of which are correctly displaying the associated addresses. However, I am unable to view the respective times for each location.

Previously, I had the capability to view this detailed list, inclusive of both addresses and time stamps. I am unsure as to why this functionality is not currently available to me. Your assistance in rectifying this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to your support in this matter.

Best regards,

You are not talking to Apple here. This is a user to use community. We are other Apple users like you. We can explain how to do something and what may be possible or impossible, but we cannot explain why Apple set things up the way they did. You can try selecting Support at the top or bottom of the page, but I don’t think the Apple support employees will even be able to explain the reasons behind the corporate/IT decisions.


You can also try leaving your request here:

The records are there, and I understand that you cannot gain access to your records… I have the same question about my records, do you have a suggestion for whom I should reach out to that might be able to answer it better than you?… Please don’t simply respond… You can’t… That’s not helpful and there’s simply must be a way, otherwise why are so many of us freely giving location information to Apple while getting nothing in return?

You're not giving the data to Apple and you do get something in return. The data is collected "in order to provide useful location-related information in Maps, Calendar, Photos and more. Significant Locations are end-to-end encrypted and cannot be read by Apple."


No, there is no way, at present, for the end user to see that information.


If you use Google services on your phone and you have the feature enabled, you can access your location timeline. I will leave it to you to consider the privacy implications of that.
