Go to "Settings" on your iPhone, then tap on the "Privacy" section.
Then click on "Location Services" and scroll to the very bottom of the page, where you'll need to tap on "System Services"

Toggle "Significant Locations" button to off.

You can also hit the Clear History button inside Significant Locations, which deletes your locations collected so far.

It’s also not a secret if you just don’t know something. Stupid headline.

This is not a privacy problem based on how Apple has architected the data. From the article:

That means that the location info is stored on your iPhone, and is encrypted and dissociated from you if it needs to leave the device.

No outsiders can see your Significant Locations, and they're not accessible through iCloud either.

It's so annoying that you can't use optimized battery charging (to improve battery lifespan) without having significant locations turned on.
