Feature Request: Location History — Shared across devices
-
I love the Location History feature on my devices, but would love the ability to sync those locations across my iPhone, iPad, and/or computer. Unfortunately, the location history is only available per device — my iPad and computer normally stay at home, my phone is always with me, so if I want to journal on my computer, I only see my home as the location.
The workaround is to create an entry on my phone, wait a couple seconds for it to sync, and then finish the entry on my computer. This is extra steps that are more annoying than a roadblock.
This might be a limitation/restriction on Apple’s side, but if this is a possible feature that could be implemented, it would be amazing!

Hello there,
Currently location history is not shared or synced across devices. I’d be happy to submit a feature request on your behalf for future consideration.

I would also like to see this feature added.
I use the same workaround as #boldflame4221 but I feel the creation of an entry on my phone is much more of an imposition than simply waiting a few seconds for my new entry to sync with my other devices. Maybe there is an efficient way to use my location history to create new entries that I am not aware of or a workflow that minimizes the usual pain that comes with creating multiple new entries from my location history. [Perhaps a separate Feature Request would be to provide the ability to select multiple items from the location history to bulk add new entries?!?! 😁]
My current workflow requires clicking Settings and then scrolling down to Location History and tapping it followed by Visit History then All Visits and then scrolling down through the list of my location history. I can select an item and then click Create Entry (or View in Day One Map or View in Apple Maps (or Delete Visit or just Cancel)). If I create an entry then I will be taken to that newly created entry and I can begin writing or wait for the new entry to sync to my other devices. This is cumbersome to say the least. But if I had seen another entry I wanted to create while scrolling through my location history that is when the pain begins because to create an entry for that second location history item I have to perform the entire workflow again.
I would love for there to be another way to utilize my location history to create new entries and syncing among devices would accomplish that. If there is currently a better way to create entries from location history than the workflow I am using I would also love any pointers others might be able to provide!!!

Nothing much to add here other than I too would love to see the ability to sync location history across timelines. I face the same frustrations as others have already expressed: Mainly I have my phone with me which is great for capturing locations I visit, but I tend to write on my Mac or iPad and I don’t have access to that history unless I first go in and create a quick entry from the phone and then later hope I remember to go in and update it.
