How to view Visited Places in Maps on iPhone

The Visited Places feature helps you keep track of places you’ve been, so you can easily revisit or share them later. Use it to find past 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 your visited places automatically, or clear them all.

Note: Visited Places isn’t available in all countries or regions.
