Your iPhone Has A Hidden List of Every Location You've Been

Hiding in not-so-plain sight, deep within the depths of your iPhone's settings (seven layers deep, to be exact) is a level of location tracking that very few iPhone users are aware of and probably won't feel comfortable with.

Sure, many of us know that our iPhone generally tracks us when we use certain apps to enable it to share personalized information like the local weather, coffee shop recommendations, and more.

But in a quick survey I ran with some friends, not one person (out of dozens of people that I surveyed) knew where or how to navigate to this specific screen that I'm talking about here. It's called the Significant Locations list.

The Significant Locations list shows a minute-by-minute route history of my exact whereabouts in every location I've been over the past few years.

    some people like to trick, or dupe the Editors. So they make a Sub of an old story.

    Some people like to trick, or dupe the Congress. So make a Sub of an old budget.

    You know how Melania likes to Plagiarize Michelle Obama, multiple times?

    Do the same! Plagiarize one of Obama's budgets and submit it to congress as your own budget. They are too dumb to notice.

    What about Wall? Something Cheatin' O never got funded, never asked for funds for. And if he'd asked, Congress would have told him "no." Hell, they didn't even give him the money to close Guantanamo. Also known as Gitmo. Which was his biggest campaign promise. And in 8 years he got ZERO dollars for that one. And I don't think he wanted to keep that promise. He could have, very easily, done a Crowdstarter for that one. Bought some Keep Out, or No Trespassing signs. And bought the Radical Muslim Terrorists tickets back to Middle East. He didn't, I don't think he wanted to. And I'm so happy he didn't. We're getting great use out of Gitmo.

    Look, I need $25 billion for Wall (Barrier). We funded the initial down payment of $1.6 billion. Big thanks to Congress for that one, very successful negotiation. We're building right now -- very quickly, very inexpensively. But we must FINISH THE WALL. And for that, we need the rest of the money. We need another $23.4 billion. The Wall will pay for itself -- after it's built. But we need the money up front, to do the building. The construction. Lieing won't make it happen. Cheatin' O's phoney words won't make it happen. But don't worry, I'll make it happen. I can do it -- nobody else can!!!

      It's funny how the price of the wall keeps going up.

      Even as the wall itself is not ever going up. At least not until the SLS gets off the ground.
