This new iOS 26 Apple Maps feature is like Spotify Wrapped for your travels – and I can't wait to try it

iOS 26 is finally here – all over the globe, users of the best iPhones are experiencing Apple’s biggest mobile operating system update in years.

The big ticket item in iOS 26 is its visual redesign, which leans on Apple’s new Liquid Glass ‘material’ and sees nearly every aspect of the software experience retouched. With that said, the update also brings with it some great revisions to Apple's suite of pre-installed apps.

My personal choice for iOS 26’s standout feature belongs to the latter category. The update brings a new Visited Places feature to Apple Maps, which – as you might guess – logs the places you visit, as well as how many times you’ve visited them.
