The Visited Places feature helps you keep track of places you’ve been, so you can easily revisit or share them later. It shows you where you’ve been with your iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) and any iPhone that’s signed in to the same Apple Account.
You can use Visited Places to find locations—like restaurants from a recent trip—and organize them into guides or share them with others. Visited Places are end-to-end encrypted, can’t be read by Apple, and appear on all your synced devices. You can also remove them automatically, or clear them all.
Note: Visited Places isn’t available in all countries or regions.
