How to See Your Visited Places in Maps

With Visited Places in iOS 26, whether you’re traveling or exploring a local area, you can look back at the spots where you’ve been and look up your last visits and how many times you’ve been there. That being said, some users might not want to have a record of every location they’ve gone to, so if you are more privacy-conscious, you may want to keep Visited Places toggled off. Apple encrypts your Visited Places so that even the company cannot access the information, but if someone takes your iPhone and unlocks it, they will be able to look up all the places you’ve visited since turning this feature on.

To use Visited Places, you’ll have to first make sure it’s toggled on:

1. Open Settings.
2. Scroll to the bottom and tap Apps.

   

3. Tap Maps.

   

4. Tap Location.

   

5. Toggle on Visited Places.

   

6. Now, open your Maps app.

   

7. Swipe up on the card at the bottom of your screen.

   

8. Tap Places.

   

9. Tap Visited Places.

   

10. Here you can see a collection of all the places you’ve visited.

    

Now, you can browse your visited places by category (dining, shopping, nature, etc.), city, date, or view a list of all places. Tapping on a category will show you all the places you’ve visited that your iPhone has placed in that category, and tapping a specific location will give you the option to navigate there.
