How do I check "History" on an iPhone? (Coming from Android)

Okay, this might sound like a dumb question, but I just switched to an iPhone 15 and I'm struggling to find where everything is logged. On Android, it felt like there was a central way to see everything, but here it feels scattered.

Specifically, I’m looking for:

Safari History: Where do I find the list of sites I visited?

App Usage: How do I see which apps I’ve been using and for how long?

Location History: Is there a way to see where I’ve been the last few days?

Any help for a newbie would be appreciated!

For your browser history, open Safari, look at the bottom bar, and tap the icon that looks like an open book. Then tap the Clock icon on the right side of that menu. Boom—there’s your history. You can also search within it by swiping down!

For App Usage, you want Screen Time.

Go to Settings > Screen Time > See All Activity.

It’ll show you exactly how many hours you spent on Reddit vs. Instagram. It even tracks how many times you "picked up" the phone today. It's a bit of a wake-up call sometimes.

Location history is buried deep to keep it private.

Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services (at the very bottom) > Significant Locations.

It’ll show you a list of cities and general areas you frequent. It's not a minute-by-minute map like Google Maps, but it’s what Apple tracks for things like "Optimized Battery Charging."
