Our iPhone is already stuck into our existence and with us wherever we go. However, it is a bit disturbing to know that these smartphones can track you anytime day or night, even when you don’t want it to.
This is incredibly scary when you’re using a Maps app or other GPS app and your phone suggests places you frequent, like your home address, a friend’s house, or your workplace.

How often does my iPhone track my locations?
Apple has given a special feature to iPhone devices he called Important Locations. These places are usually the places you visit the most.
This feature is enabled by default, and it’s designed to help you keep track of all the places you visit most often.
While you may consider this a valuable feature that you enjoy using, I understand that not everyone wants to be tracked at all times of the day, and some prefer to keep the places you visit private, even from your own devices. Privacy-focused Apple allows us to have better control to turn off Important Places.
