Exactly my question. Buried deep in location services is a frequently visited locations that apps have access to even if they only have access "only while using."

I'm pretty sure 3rd party apps don't have access to that data anyway...


Yes that exists, but you are wrong about the permission requirement. CLVisit is meant to be a lower power alternative to always tracking, but still requires the same “always” permission: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/getti...


iOS has access to these, third party apps do not.


I didn't know of that, thanks a lot for sharing!. Reminds me of the Google Location history on Android devices that shows you scaringly accurate where you went during your day.
