We all know that the iPhone is really a smart phone, and that the iOS system is superior to its Android counterpart in many ways, on the one hand, on the one hand, on the other hand Apple itself is advancing miles over Google and others in terms of privacy and security, and this shows from the amount of lawsuits that Google is being subjected to. With regard to privacy and how many viruses and vulnerabilities are discovered every day, but did you know that your iPhone records all the places you go to in a semi-hidden list? Why? How? This is what we will know now.
The iPhone records all your destinations with the Significant Location feature
Perhaps you have heard of the Significant Locations feature (or important sites), which is a feature found in the iPhone, and this feature records and tracks all the places you go to or travel to, and it also records the number of times you went to this place and the amount of time you spent in it!
You may have felt a little anxious now! But there is no need for this, as Apple has made clear, all Significant Locations data is encrypted by end-to-end, meaning that Apple is absolutely unable to obtain this information even if it wants to, in addition to that, this data is recorded on I- Funk, and no application can access it except for the Photos application to provide you with services and features such as Memories.
In any respect, the matter is not dangerous in the broad termOpening this list requires setting a password even if the device is unlocked, But the risk is that anyone gets access to your phone and the password, because he will be able to see this data of course, on the one hand, on the other hand, you may not want this feature from the ground up, whether due to your excessive concern or other reasons, and for this we will explain to you a method Cancel it.
Imagine that your wife (for example) gets access to your device and through this list you can know all the places you have been in, and here lies the danger of having this list on your device, and note that your wife’s example is metaphorical, it is possible for your phone to fall into the hands of anyone who does not want to be He knows this very private information about you, noting that it is unlikely that this person will be strange because he must put the password to the device.
How to prevent the iPhone from tracking you?
Apple allows you to cancel this feature from the ground up, and in addition it also allows you to delete all the records on your iPhone, which you can do by following the following steps:
1- Go to Settings
2- Go to the Privacy settings
3- Go to Location Services
4- Continue scrolling down until you find the System Services option
5- Through the system services, go to the Significant Locations feature
Now all you have to do is deactivate the feature. Also, through this same list, you can see the places you went to under the heading “My Places”, in addition to the ability to delete all data through the “Clear History” option, as in the picture:

Hello
May God reward you with good, Yadoub, the truth. I delete the sites that I visited in Baqak
رائع
A misleading article and the aim of the article is to drumming up Apple and citing facts that do not exist
May God reward you well, engineer Tariq, but I think that it is very important. Perhaps one day the destinies of God put you somewhere and you could not prove that to those around you, so I think that it will be the deliverer. Thank you, engineer Tariq and every team, Von Islam
Yes, I have known about it for a long time
Well, we knew how to cancel the tracking records, but how do I view these records if I wanted to see what paths they traced on me?
Glory be to God, what about our records on the Day of Resurrection?
For me, the matter is the same and does not pose any seriousness. Thank you very much for alerting users
May God give you wellness
I canceled website services OFF when I first opened my iPhone from the box hahahahahahahahaha
Because of the fear of espionage and tracking
A wish that we hope to fulfill. The photos attached to your kind article will be in Arabic.
Really important information
A very important topic, thank you
useful information
I am a location services locker based on 😂
Ok, how do you benefit from the applications of the threads that you have?
Spy to find out the important places, especially for some who work in the intelligence and others for the benefit of ………….
I think this is an important feature for improving website performance and a very nice thing to know about the location of the images. I do not cancel it but rather keep it on
Frankly, it is good, and the user has the freedom to choose
Apple should alert this feature.
Everyone has a shark and a spray that shows (meaning cheating) Hahaha
But how Apple will improve its services if not activated?
Presumably, it will benefit from these operations to improve the quality of transportation services.
I was not mistaken, and God knows best
Yes, you are right. Personally, do not close this service. I am not afraid of my wife 😊
I see it as a nice feature of Memories in the Photos app.
HAH
You killed me with laughter when I said, "Imagine what would happen if your wife got the phone ..."
Hahaha
No, what is the benefit that accrues to us from this feature, so that I do not cancel it
Decisions are built into the system, such as proposing an application when you are at the airport, or improving services for those in certain places
