Your iPhone will track and record places that you visit most often to provide better location-based data and suggestions across iOS 11. While these suggestions can be super helpful, you may not like the idea of your iPhone and iPad tracking the locations you frequent
If you value your privacy more than you do location-based data and suggestions, you can turn the feature off.
How to turn off Significant Locations on iPhone and iPad:
1. Launch the Settings app from the Home screen.
2. Tap on Privacy.
3. Tap Location Services at the top.
4. Tap System Services. It's all the way down at the bottom of the list.
5. Tap Significant Locations.
6. Enter your passcode, use Touch ID, or Face ID, to authenticate access.
7. Tap the Significant Locations On/Off Switch. When the switch is gray, that means the feature has been turned off.

Stop going to those places???

Well you can turn off the device. Wouldn’t that work?
It looks kind of heavy.

That’d make a great “burner” phone as it is mostly made out of wood.
I think you could put it into a metal box.
They can track me all that they want-——and they will be bored to death.:-)

Some kindling might be required.
Android tracks your location no matter what you do says Popular Mechanics.
I’ll bet all cell phones do.
I am not following you. When the phone is turned off there is no way the carrier knows your location.
