How Drivio Stores Your Trips: Local History and Optional iCloud

Your trip history is local by default. Here is what changes when you turn on iCloud backup or share a drive with someone else.

Trip history starts on your iPhone

Drivio records location and motion information to build a local trip history after you grant the required permissions. You can review recorded drives and organize them into Journeys without creating a Drivio account.

Local storage does not mean data can never leave

Optional cloud features have different storage rules. An exported poster also leaves the app when you send or post it. Choose those features according to what you want to share.

Optional iCloud backup

Pro users can back up trip data to their personal iCloud Drive. This is a backup stored with Apple, not a promise that all data stays physically on the phone. Review backup settings before relying on them to recover a lost device.

Optional Live Share

Live Share stores location and session data in Apple’s CloudKit. A public link can be opened by anyone who receives it; a private share is limited to invited accounts. Public sessions can end with a trip or after a chosen time limit. Private sessions can continue across drives and show a parked state.

Stop a session in My Shares to stop updates. Deleting a session removes its CloudKit records; stopping updates is not the same as deleting stored records. Changes may be delayed by network conditions, and recipients may have saved what they already saw.

Check the details before sharing

Read the privacy policy for permissions and storage, and support guide for sharing controls. Local history, optional backup, and sharing with another person are three distinct choices.
