Your iPhone Keeps A Detailed List Of Every Location You Frequent: Here's How To Delete Your History And Shut The Feature Off For Good
Apple says it keeps a list of locations you've visited "to learn places that are significant to you."
• Apple keeps a detailed, itemized list of every location you've been with your iPhone. • The feature is found deep inside your iPhone's settings, where you can find specific ad- dresses of places you've gone, how often you visit them, and when you visited them.
• Here's how you can delete the history of your locations and turn off the tracking fea- ture for good.
There's a little-known fea- ture built into your iPhone that keeps a history of everywhere you've been — and how many times you've been there.
This "Significant Locations" list can be found in your set- tings, but it's rather hard to find, whether purposeful or not.
Apple tracks and stores where you've been and how often (and when) you visit. But it gets even more detailed than that: Your iPhone compiles lo- cations specific to a single ad- dress and tracks when you leave there and even how long it took to get there and by which mode of transportation.
According to Apple, the list is kept "to learn places that are significant to you." And Apple isn't alone in keeping track of
this amount of location data — Google does it too, through a "Location History" list found in your Google account.
"This data is encrypted and stored only on your device and will not be shared without your consent," Apple said on its website. "It is used to provide you with personalized services, such as predictive traffic rout- ing, and to build better Photos Memories."
But if you no longer want "Significant Locations" turned on, here's how to turn off and delete the history from your iPhone:
First, head to your Settings app and locate the "Privacy" tab.
Click on the first option, "Lo- cation Services."
Underneath, you'll find a list of every app on your iPhone and the kind of access each one has to your location data. But skip that ...
... and scroll to the bottom of the page, where you'll find "System Services."
There, you'll find a full list of what built-in Apple services you have granted access to your location data. It may be more extensive than you knew. Some of these options need your location for daily use, such as "Find My iPhone" and location sharing. But at the bottom of this list, there's a tab called "Significant Locations," which requires your password (or fingerprint, or Face ID) to access.
You'll find a comprehensive history of where your iPhone has been.
The list is sorted by city — and under each, you can find even more specific info: the ad- dresses of places you've been, how many times you've been there, the specific dates (and times!) you were there, and how much time you spent there. It's a wild amount of data.
Before you turn off the fea- ture altogether, don't forget to clear the history that's been kept on your phone. The "Clear History" option is all the way at the bottom of the list.
Finally, you can turn off the feature list by toggling off the option at the top of the page. Apple may still have access to a huge trove of your data, but at least you can keep it from com- piling a detailed list of every- where you've ever been!
Man Used Machete To Kill Wife, Daughter In Miami Gardens, Police Say
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - Police are continuing to search for a man they said killed his wife and 10-year- old daughter with a machete over the weekend in Miami Gardens.
Police said Noel Cham- bers, 57, killed his young daughter, Shayla Cham- bers, and wife, Lorrice Harris, Saturday night at their apartment in the 600 block of Northwest 177th Street before trying to kill his adult daughter.
According to authorities, Saturday was Harris' birth- day and was also the day she told her husband she was leaving him.
Police investigated a tip Monday afternoon from someone who claimed to have spotted Noel Chambers going into an abandoned building off Northwest Sev- enth Avenue, near Top Golf.
Sky 10 was above the area shortly before 5 pm. as offi- cers swarmed the location, but it doesn't appear that Noel Chambers has yet been found.
Relatives said they believed Noel Chambers was still in Miami Gardens.
"This is not a human. This is a monster, and we need to

get this monster off the street," Anderson said.
A crisis response team, meanwhile, was placed at Norwood Elementary School in Miami Gardens Monday morning, where Shayla was a student.
"Wow. That's unthinkable for a parent to do that to their family," Janeka Butler, whose child attends Norwood Elementary School, said.
Parents at the school were shocked to find out about the deadly attack.
Georgia National Guard Appoints Delta Flight Attendant As Its First Black Female Pilot
Black women are continu- ing to break down barriers one first at a time. The latest woman representing #Black- Girl Magic is Andrea Lewis, a Delta Airlines flight attendant, who has just been named by the Georgia Na- tional Guard as its first Black female pilot.
Andrea Lewis is the daughter of a military pilot and a commercial flight at- tendant. After she graduated from University of Georgia in 2009, Lewis followed her mother’s path (a Delta flight attendant for over 40 years) and became a flight attendant herself.
After encouragement from her father, James Culyer, a pilot for 14 years in the U.S. Marine Corps and a commer- cial pilot for 22 years, she
ANDREA LEWIS
joined the Air Force Reserve in 2010, and now she’s fol- lowing her father with her latest appointment as the Guards’ first Black female pilot.
Lewis, a flight attendant
for Delta for eight years, also serves as first lieutenant in the 116th Air Control Wing, piloting the E-8C Joint STARS. She is currently gear- ing up for her first deploy- ment with the Georgia Air National Guard and is on military leave from Delta.
“I remember when my mom would bring the bever- age cart to school for Career Day, giving my classmates and I a glimpse into the avia- tion industry. These memo- ries, combined with the ability to travel the world, made a big impact on my goal to finally join her here at Delta.
“I hope that young boys and girls can follow, not only in my footsteps, but in anyone’s that they admire to achieve their dreams and goals.”
