How To View and Clear Location History On iPhone, iPad, And Mac?

To view and manage location history on an iPhone, iPad, and Mac, follow these steps:

View Location History on iPhone or iPad:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Navigate to Privacy > Location Services.
3. Scroll down and tap on System Services.
4. Choose Significant Locations. Enter your passcode if prompted.

Here, you can see a limited number of locations visited, including approximate positions and dates. Please note that the amount of detailed history shown on iOS may be reduced compared to earlier versions.

2. Scroll down and tap on Clear History.

View Location History Using Google Maps (optional):

If you prefer a more detailed history, consider using Google Maps:

1. Ensure Location Services is enabled for Google Maps on your iPhone or iPad (Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Google Maps).
2. Open the Google Maps app and tap your profile photo.
3. Select Your data in Maps.
4. Choose See & delete activity to view your location history.

Clear Location History Using Google Maps:

To clear your Google Maps location history:

1. Visit google.com/maps/timeline in a web browser.
2. Click "Manage Location History" at the bottom of the page.
3. Click "Turn Off" and confirm with another click on "Turn Off" in the dropdown menu that appears.

For Mac, you can manage Google Maps location history in a web browser following the same steps as for iPhone and iPad. However, there is no native location history feature on macOS like Significant Locations on iOS.
