How to set up and use the Visited Places feature in Apple Maps

Visited Places in Apple Maps on iPhone running iOS 26

Visited Places is a new feature in the iOS 26 Maps app that intelligently detects the meaningful places, restaurants, cafes, parks, malls, and other spots you visit and automatically keeps track of such locations.

You can view all these places in the Apple Maps app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac to easily revisit those spots later or share their location with friends and family. It also kind of serves as a location logger to keep a record of where you have been.
