1\ #MobileForensics Tip: Did you know iOS, by default, tracks all locations that you visit to build a map of your life.

Artefacts:
> cache.sqlite
> cloud.sqlite
> local.sqlite

Tracked by IoS:
> When you arrived
> When you left
> Long/Lat

😝Photo is a parsed local.sqlite file
2\ In your iPhone the local.sqlite will render like this - as you can see I went to a grocery store 13 times. I was in lockdown don’t judge me.
3\ You can parse these using DB browser for sqlite - there are field names including longitude, latitude and also tracks when you arrived / left so it understands your dwell time. There are also fields pertaining to vehicle events i.e. you parked your car.
4\ You can take a look at your own phone by going into Significant Locations setting here
5\ I can post the sql query here too if anybody is interested in that .. bit long to paste into a tweet.

But yeah your iPhone is basically a human tracking device xD ... people mostly worry about application location settings but forget about... these other things
