Anytime Apple rolls out an iOS update, one of the first built-in apps I check is Maps. Apple has put a lof of effort into fine-tuning its mapping app so that a Google Maps vs. Apple Maps comparison is more of a fair fight these days, which usually means an interesting feature or two makes arrives with each major iOS release.
With iOS 26, that feature turns out to be Visited Places. This addition to Maps promises to remember where you visit — and it does so automatically and without any intervention on your part. The idea behind Visited Places is that it gives you an easy-to-access list of where you've been so you don't have to struggle to remember that out-of-the-way restaurant you discovered on that trip a few years ago or the location of that store that had a great selection of vintage records.
