There's a hidden map in your iPhone of everywhere you've been

The next time you need to remember exactly where you've been on a map, consult your iPhone.

It's very typical for a smartphone to track your location these days, and it's something the iPhone has been doing for years. But you may not know that your iPhone keeps an extremely detailed log of where you've been on a map, including time stamps for when you come and go.

Here's how to find the log — and if you feel so inclined, delete it.

Open the Settings app on your iPhone and tap on "Privacy."

Then tap on Location Services.

You'll see the location tracking permissions for every app you have installed.

Now things start to get interesting.

Under History, you'll see your iPhone's GPS location history. If you've traveled between multiple cities, the location logs will be broken up into different lists.

Tap on a city's name to see a map view of where your iPhone has been. If you have certain locations labeled already, their respective names will be displayed instead of the street name.

Apple calls this log your "frequent" locations, but places you've visited only once are displayed as well.

If you tap on a specific location, you can see the time stamps of when you've arrived to and left that location.

To delete your location history off your device, tap Clear History. You can also turn off the feature by un-checking the toggle next to Frequent Locations.
