Hi, I turned on "Significant Location" for about a month since turning it on is a requirement for "Optimized Battery Charging". However, until now there is still no location data shown(saved) in "Significant Location". I am wondering about what is going on. I am using an iPhone 13 pro max with ios 15.1.
P.S. I am using Google maps. Apple maps app has been deleted form my phone. Maybe I should use apple map?
Thanks a lot.
iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Hi there VividLasting,
We understand you're not seeing any location data for Significant Locations on your iPhone, and you're asking if you should use Apple Maps. We're glad you've taken the time to reach out to us here in Apple Support Communities, and we can provide some guidance.
"The Maps app keeps track of the places you recently visited, as well as when and how often you visited them. Maps uses this information to provide you with personalized services like predictive traffic routing."
With that said, Maps is required in order to see location details for Significant Locations. Have a look at the link below to learn more:

"If you choose to enable Improve Maps, Apple will collect the GPS coordinates obtained through the Significant Locations feature on your device and correlate them with the street address associated with your Apple ID. This will enable Apple to better approximate the geographic location of that and other addresses." This link provides more information:

Thanks for your quick reply. Sorry my posted question is not so clear, and it may be confusing.
So, could I interpret what you suggested as the following?
In order to have any record in "Significant Location" and let "Significant Location" to keep track my location data, I need to use apple "Maps" app routinely. If there is no apple "Maps" app installed on my phone, I will not have any "Significant Location" record.
I hope you could clarify it for me. I turned on everything related with the location services and I still cannot have any record in "Significant Location", so I am wondering about what is going on with my phone.
Thanks a lot.
No location data in "Significant Location"
