How to check and delete your Location History on iPhone

You can use your iPhone or iPad to examine your location history if you’ve ever wondered where you went the previous week. Additionally, you may obtain a tonne of specific information about your location if you use Google Maps. The article has the below steps which will show you how to view the summary of your iPhone’s location history. You might be startled to hear that iOS remembers the date, time, and location of places you’ve been, and even locates those places on a map for you. This should not come as a surprise as every major tech company and app has a location-tracking capability of some kind. Everyone does it, including Twitter, Facebook, Apple, and Google. Different approaches are used by each organization to utilize the data. Apple, for instance, says it doesn’t share your data with anyone and only keeps track of the major sites you’ve been to in the past. Google, on the other hand, meticulously records every action you take, particularly if you use Google Maps.
