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.
