encrypted and cannot be read by Apple,\u201d according to Apple.<\/p>\n<p>That means that the location info is stored on your iPhone, and is encrypted and dissociated from you if it needs to leave the device.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"\/>\n<p>No outsiders can see your Significant Locations, and they\u2019re not accessible through iCloud either.<\/p>\n<p>And even if a pal is using your iPhone, they can\u2019t get into Significant Locations without getting past a Face ID or Touch ID lock first.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you\u2019re really worried that a spouse might sneak their way onto your iPhone and catch you at the pub when you were supposed to be at work, it might be worth deactivating the system \u2013 or clearing your history at the very least. We\u2019ll explain how to do that below.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also worth mentioning that Significant Locations is opt-in, although you probably never knew that.<\/p>\n<p>It turns on when you activate Location Services during iPhone set-up, but it\u2019s buried beneath several layers of Settings, so most people have no idea it exists.<\/p>\n<p>The location data tracks back around a year.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-find-your-iphone-location-map\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_find_your_iPhone_Location_Map\"><\/span>How to find your iPhone Location Map<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First, launch the Settings app on your iPhone, then tap on the Privacy section.<\/p>\n<p>Then click on Location Services and scroll to the very bottom of the page, where you\u2019ll need to tap on System Services.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/iphone-feature-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=682\" alt=\"The Significant Locations feature can be turned off in the settings.\" class=\"wp-image-21634100\" width=\"317\" height=\"474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/iphone-feature-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=632 634w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/iphone-feature-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=474 475w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/iphone-feature-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=317 317w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/iphone-feature-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=158 158w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/iphone-feature-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\"\/><figcaption>The Significant Locations feature can be turned off in the settings.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">TikTok<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Go to the Significant Locations tab, at which point you\u2019ll be asked to log in with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode.<\/p>\n<p>You should see a long list of cities, which you can tap into to find various locations you\u2019ve previously been at.<\/p>\n<p>All of these locations are time-stamped, and are included on a map at the top of the screen.<\/p>\n<p>It may even highlights your \u2018Home\u2019 and \u2018Work\u2019, which should be your most-visited destinations.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-delete-iphone-significant-locations\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_delete_iPhone_Significant_Locations\"><\/span>How to delete iPhone Significant Locations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few ways to clean up your Significant Locations on the iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>The first is to simply toggle Significant Locations off when you\u2019re in the correct menu.<\/p>\n<p>You can also hit the Clear History button inside Significant Locations, which deletes your locations collected so far.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can toggle Location Services off entirely, although this means you\u2019ll lose out on some really useful mapping features.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve asked Apple how frequently the tracker updates with your location, and how it works out where your home and work addresses are.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article originally appeared on\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/tech\/4957868\/tech-expert-iphone-hidden-map-location-tracking\/\">The Sun<\/a>\u00a0and was reproduced here with permission.<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
