I¢m happy to say those settings were already disabled on my phone.
Either it¢s by default or perhaps I had changed it in a previous phone
and it migrated over as a switched phones.
You do you. Just don't try to suggest there's anything inherently
dangerous about the Significant Locations feature without verified
evidence of that claim, then turn around and get upset when someone
calls you out on it. ; )
Why must you do this? Did I actually say anyone should do anything? I
merely provided a news story and shared my own experience. You absolutely must find a way to denigrate people no matter what.

As ESET cyber guru Jake Moore warns, "significant locations is one
of those features ... I cannot think of a positive or useful reason
why Apple would include this feature on any of their devices."
Then Jake has no imagination and/or is clueless about the iPhone.
Hmmm... cyber gurus and security experts are saying the little
functionality that it provides isn't worth the loss in privacy that can be >> expected to occur now, and in the future (since you will never know).
Nonsense. The data is end-to-end encrypted and cannot be accessed by
third parties including Apple. You're fear mongering as usual, and its
lame. You're also a dumb ass troll.
