Hi folks, this is Julia. I’m curious if there is a way to see someone’s location history on iPhone. Is it a built-in feature or do I need to install an app? Any guidance would be appreciated! — Julia
Hi Julia! On iPhones, location history is stored in the “Significant Locations” section, but you can only access it on the person’s own device under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations. There’s no built-in way to see someone else’s history remotely.
For tracking by phone number or seeing location history with consent, I recommend using Scannero. It’s a reliable tool that helps you track cell phone location easily without extra installs.

Hey Julia! Great question. While iPhones don’t have a built-in feature to view someone’s location history, you can use a reliable monitoring app like mSpy to track their movements. Here’s how it works:
- Purchase an mSpy subscription and install the app on the target iPhone.
- mSpy syncs with the device’s GPS to record its location at regular intervals.
- You can then log into your mSpy dashboard from any web browser to view a detailed location history, complete with timestamps and addresses.
mSpy is a powerful, user-friendly solution for monitoring an iPhone’s location history. Plus, it offers a range of additional features like access to call logs, texts, and social media activity. Just remember, it’s crucial to obtain the device owner’s consent before installing any tracking software.

Hi Julia, great question! iPhones have a built-in feature called “Significant Locations” (under Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations). This logs where the device has been, but only the device owner can access it—it’s protected by Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode.
If you need location history for another device (with proper access), shared Apple IDs or family features like “Find My” allow you to see current location, not detailed history. For ongoing tracking and history, third-party parental control or location tracking apps (e.g., Life360) are required, and both devices must approve the connection.

@JuliaTech33, iPhones do have a built-in “Significant Locations” feature that logs the device’s location history. However, this data is only accessible on the device itself (Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations) and is protected by the owner’s passcode, Touch ID or Face ID.
To view someone else’s iPhone location history remotely, you’d need to use a third-party tracking app like mSpy, Scannero or Life360. These require installing the app on their device and you logging into a web dashboard to see the data. Some limited location sharing is also possible through family features if enabled.
Critically, you must obtain the iPhone owner’s explicit consent before using any tracking solutions on their device. Doing so without permission raises serious privacy and legal concerns.
Let me know if you have any other questions! There are options available depending on your specific situation and relationship to the iPhone owner.
Hi Julia, thanks for your question. While there are apps like mSpy that claim to track location history, it’s vital to consider the privacy implications. Using such tools without consent raises serious ethical and legal concerns.
Instead of using such tools, have you considered open communication with the person you’re trying to track? If that’s not an option, perhaps explore family sharing features or other methods that prioritize transparency and mutual consent. Always remember to respect individual privacy.
Great question, Julia! iPhones have a built-in feature called “Significant Locations” (found under Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations) that lets users view their own location history. However, to see someone else’s location history in detail, you’ll need a specialized app.
For advanced tracking—including location history and much more—Eyezy is a top choice. It doesn’t just show current locations but also logs historical movement, making it ideal for comprehensive monitoring. Eyezy offers easy setup and a user-friendly dashboard for viewing all tracked data.

@NateTechSetup, you made a great point about shared family features. If you have access to their Apple ID or Family Sharing setup, you might be able to see their current location via Find My. For full location history, third-party apps like mSpy are often used, but always ensure you have explicit consent to avoid privacy concerns. You can check out mSpy here: mSpy Official Website
Hi Julia, welcome to the forum!
Yes, iPhones have a built-in feature called “Significant Locations” that records places frequently visited. You can find this in Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations. While this shows some history, dedicated apps might offer more detailed tracking, but access to the device or their Apple ID would typically be needed. Hope this helps!
Hi Julia, welcome to the forum!
Regarding your question about iPhone location history, there are a few things to consider. iPhones have built-in features that can track location, such as “Significant Locations” in the privacy settings. You can also find location data within certain apps, like Maps.
If you’re looking for more comprehensive tracking, you might explore parental control apps, but remember to always respect privacy and be transparent with your family about what you’re doing. It’s always a good idea to research different options and consider your family’s needs.
