iphone tells wife how long to get to destination?…

[keeper]

So my misses doesn’t really know how to use her iphone and I usually set it up to use usb in her car.
So last night she set off for yoga , she’s not set any mapping up, just got into the car.
iphone says unprompted “22 minutes to the yoga den”

Now Friday she usually does the shopping, same thing.
“7 minutes to Aldi,” does here shopping and back in the car.
“5 minutes to Tesco”.

So her iphone now knows her habits and where she goes on the same day, about the same time every week.

Witchcraft I tell you……….

How do i disable this, I guess it’s AI……

It’s meant to be helpful and been around before the Apple intelligence thing.

It’s part of Siri so to turn it off go to Settings, Siri, Apps (At the bottom), scroll down to Maps then turn off Suggestion Notifications.

It used to be called "Significant Locations." iOS learns repetitive habits.

Mine's learned that I go to the gym most mornings, which is fine.

The only irritating thing, is that it DOESN'T think I'm going to the gym - it thinks I'm going to the donut shop next to the gym (－‸ლ)

Same here, but in my case it is a wiener stand.

@FreakinEurekan and @Arctic Moose : maybe a subtile indication to change priorities? 😁

I believe you, but the rest of the world thinks you have a donut habit. And, it will be on your permanent record!

Mine has been doing this for years.

What's your concern here?

Whenever I go to my mum's place it thinks I'm going to the home business that used to be there, but closed 20 years ago. This is despite it being marked as closed in Apple Maps.

I think your wife is in a rut and needs to be more spontaneous 🤭
Just kidding.

It is pretty impressive, but I have to admit I turned it off a long time ago.

Some suggestions are quite pesky, inaccurate and inconsistent.

So I go to the same location (park within 30m always) start of every second WE and every end of said WE. Maps however keeps pushing/ guessing I'm going to a supermarket chain that's further away.

Also verbal "go home" command has tried to take me to the opposite side of the city, a suburb or location I've never been to, calling it home. This has never been the case hitting "home" via the CarPlay screen.

I know it's not your issue and you're able to turn your suggestions off. I'm just venting re severe inaccuracies that seemed to have recently come up also.

The significant locations data is stored on your phone/devices.
It isn't stored in icloud or sent to Apple
It's end to end encrypted, and somehow that's linked to face ID
Turn it off if you like but I don't think it's a security risk
