Once you delete your search history, it's gone forever. If you need to store old directions or a set of coordinates but don't want them readily available in the Maps app, there is another way: Share them to a Secured Notes file.
- First, set up Notes with a secure password.
- Open the Maps app.
- Swipe up to reveal the Recents menu.
Tap on the destination you wish to save.
