Have you updated your iPhone to iOS 17? You should check your privacy settings as they could reveal an unwanted and surprising change.

How Much Of A Privacy Issue Is Having Sensitive Locations And iPhone Analytics Enabled?

Why should you be concerned if both sensitive locations and iPhone analytics options are enabled?"While significant locations remain local on your iPhone, they can be abused as they record detailed information about the locations you visit frequently," the Mysk developers wrote.
