How to Keep a Private Location Journal on iPhone

§ 02  What belongs here

A small blog with durable topics.

Launch notes
Design notes
01

Product changes, plainly described.

Release notes and feature explanations should say what shipped, what changed, and what users may need to adjust.

02

Practical privacy explanations.

Location history is sensitive, so posts should explain storage, export, geocoding, and permissions in concrete language.

03

Useful guides over marketing filler.

Good future posts can help readers choose tracking modes, export formats, and backup habits without overstating the product.
