Your phone quietly knows where you've been. Places by Data turns that into a beautiful, private map of your life, built automatically from the data your iPhone already has, and kept entirely on your device. Scan your photo library and watch your travels appear: every place you've been, clustered on one living map you can scrub through time. Pinch into a year, a month, a single day, and press play to watch your world fill in. WHAT IT MAPS • Photos - your library becomes places and trips, automatically • Location - the spots you visit and the paths between them • Wi-Fi & Bluetooth - the networks and devices you encounter, and where • Health - steps, distance, heart rate, sleep, workouts and more • Motion - a live look at your phone's orientation, compass, and altitude TRIPS, WRITTEN FOR YOU Your photos and visits are grouped into trips automatically, and each one gets a short story composed by Apple's on-device intelligence — private, personal, and never sent to the cloud. ONE MAP, EVERY SIGNAL The Atlas composites everything into place "bubbles" you can explore. Tap one to burst it open into an interactive web of what happened there. Toggle live layers — earthquakes, aircraft overhead, weather radar, nearby Wikipedia places - right on top of your own map. TRACE A DEVICE Pick a Wi-Fi network or Bluetooth device and see everywhere you've crossed paths with it, plotted across the map over time. DEEP INSIGHTS A dashboard for every sensor: your visits, the networks and devices around you, your health metrics with charts, and a live motion instrument panel with posture, movement, and elevation readouts. PRIVATE BY DESIGN This is the whole point: your data never leaves your iPhone. There are no accounts, no servers, no tracking, and nothing is collected. Want a copy? Export an encrypted backup file that only you can open, to Files or iCloud Drive — your choice. FREE, FOR EVERYONE Every feature is free. If you love it, an optional tip helps keep new features coming. Places by Data is your world, mapped privately.
