It is. You can access it in Maps > Your account photo > Places > Visited Places. In there they can be broken down by area, type (shopping, dining, etc) and shown on the map.

Does it already have the places you’ve visited over the years or does it start fresh with this release?

That’s disappointing but would likely have been a privacy uproar if they had stored our locations
That's weird... It's not showing up on my side... Maybe it's a US only feature for now?

All I have is Saved Places -(UK location)
In fact apart from one word change on the front page from Library to Places I see no difference at all

Apple announced that it is not available in the EU due to the DMA. See:

UK isn't in the EU, but I am surprised that would even be AI or proprietery, its hardly rocket science, Google Maps have had Timeline for years.Apple announced that it is not available in the EU due to the DMA. See:

Apple being mean back to mean-minded Brussels and I don't blame them.

I suspect it’ll show up in the UK pretty quickly.
My guess is it’s a privacy thing, under the DMA if Apple offers a software feature any third party has to be able get it too; I can’t imagine Apple thinks that sort of information should be available to third parties at all.
I just downloaded and installed iOS 26 Beta 2 and I don't see any Visited Places section. Under Places, I only see Pinned, Saved Places, Guides, and Routes. I'm in the US. What’s going on?

What the heck? Do I need to give it some time for the app to gather data since it’s “fresh”? Did that tab appear for you right from the get-go? My screen looks the same as yours, but nothing under Routes!

It was there as soon as I thought to go and check it. I'm assuming you have in fact visited places since updating?
Maybe? This could be one of those features they withhold from older models.
Yes, I have been to places and I still see nothing.
I don't see anything that the Places feature is limited to newer iPhones. Makes no sense that the 12 doesn't support it!
