Frequent locations help.

RetiredSideman — Tue, 14 Oct 2014 20:12:52 GMT

I have had my iPhone 6 running latest iOS since the 3rd and set up the frequent locations option straight away. Since then it has logged 6 entries, 4 for home and 2 for work.

I understand the traffic feature where it advises me how long it will take to get to a frequent location based on my patterns will not start working for about 2 weeks of constantly doing the same thing but for a few days now it has not logged any new locations even though I haven't changed my timetables. Even today I logged maybe 7 hours to where I study and this still hasn't updated.

I haven't changed any of the settings since I first got it so not sure why my locations are not being logged.

I can confirm I have location services on and also frequent locations on. Nothing changed.

Can someone advice me?

To be honest I've never been able to get this feature to work as it should either.

I'm guessing it works in a similar way to Google Now on Android, in which case it will take a while to build up your database...
Once it get's your patterns and locations worked out it will throw out suggestions even if you just go to the local store, so what I'm saying is you may have to do the same journey a couple of times before it logs the possibility that you might be interested in it.
