Providing, organizing, and managing location history records of a mobile device

An apparatus for providing information associated with a location history of a mobile device to a first application of a plurality of applications on the mobile device, comprising:

• at least one memory of the mobile device;
• one or more processors of the mobile device communicatively coupled to the at least one memory, the one or more processors, either alone or in combination, configured to:
• receive, an information request for a route from the first application of a plurality of applications, the information request including filtering criteria for filtering a plurality of location records corresponding to a plurality of locations of the mobile device at different times;
• determine whether the first application has permission to access the plurality of location records based on a permission level associated with the first application;
• in response to the determination that the first application has permission to access the plurality of location records, determine information based on the plurality of location records that meet the filtering criteria;
• and
• provide the information to the first application to enable the first application to provide content based on the information to a user of the mobile device.
