View my location on a specific date

I'm trying to find my locations for a specific date. I am unable to view them on my iPhone or mac. I have significant locations turned on with the latest software updates.

iPhone 14 Pro

What’s is the significant locations feature then? I remember being able to look at different locations for different times and dates but i don’t see that feature anymore.

Apple provides no means to do that.


You might find corroborating data from Wi-Fi or other network logs in the area, or potentially from cellular data or such, if such exist and are or can be accessible to you.


But from iPhone location data? No. Apple provides no interface into that.

Significant locations is used by Apple apps to tailor some activity, but all but the most recent locations are not exposed to the user. That location data is valuable for a domestic abuser and their efforts to control, for instance. And abuse arising from and related to inherent inaccuracies in that location data, as well—cellular-derived locations are far from accurate. Locally, cellular-derived locations can be off by five kilometers and more, though that inaccuracy is being reduced as coverage improves.
