The idea of your iPhone tracking you may on the extreme feel outrageous to some people. However, there are many benefits to iPhone location tracking.
You may want to know where your kids spent their time during the day. Some of you may be interested in seeing the whereabouts of your significant others over a period of time and iPhone location tracking can be a great place to start from. In fact, location tracking technology has exonerated people from false accusations.
The good news is your iPhone location history is encrypted and cannot be accessed even by Apple. Apple uses a process called Significant Location history to capture your location. This is a very battery-efficient process and your location is only captured only when you travel a significant distance over time.

Choose Location Services.
Then choose System Services.
Scroll and choose Significant Locations.
Even though the iPhone location history is freely available to each user, it may not be insightful enough for certain use cases. For example, you cannot share your location with others if you wanted to.
It also does not provide a breadcrumb trail path to show the path taken to different points of interest.
