When you find Significant Locations, scroll down and tap it.
You will see a list of the places you’ve been after entering your password or unlocking your phone using FaceID.

Why does the phone track us like this?
Apple claims that this function was added so that the phone may recognize locations that are important to us and offer specialized services like traffic prediction and enhanced Photos Memories. Nevertheless, it appears to be a violation of privacy and might result in serious issues.
Who else could be aware of them if the phone is monitoring our whereabouts? Nobody, according to Apple. Your cloud-connected gadgets’ communication of data is reportedly encrypted. There is nothing they can do to get access tracking to it unless they acquire your phone and password.
