Regarding significant locations, how long does it take for an iOS device to learn locations? We've done some testing and when we turned on stolen device protection and try to turn it off, it activated the security delay with significant locations on.

Thanks for taking the time to share your question here. Are you asking about an existing API?

Unfortunately if you are asking how Apple handled stolen devices protection I would refer to the public documentation, internal engineering designs are not publicly discussed due privacy and security concerns.

Here are a few suggestions that might help it attract more attention:

  • Provide more details: Expanding on your post to include any error messages, code snippets, steps you've already taken to troubleshoot, and the expected/actual outcomes would be very helpful.
  • Be specific about your technology stack: Clearly state the programming languages, frameworks, or tools you are using.

Thanks for your understanding.

Hi, could you please provide me with the public documentation that’s available. I was wondering about the period of time that significant locations needs to learn from frequent locations. I am not inquiring about how Apple handles stolen device protection.

Accepted Answer

This is the consumer documentation about stolen device protection I believe https://support.apple.com/en-us/120340

Hi, in a follow-up, please disregard stolen device protection component. How long would it take for significant locations to learn from a user's frequent locations?
