Location / traffic notifications missing since upgrading to 6S
We upgraded to the 6S on 12/1. Before that I had a 5S and my wife a 5. On both of our prior devices, and since upgrading to iOS 9 (I think this was a 9 feature?), we would get notifications any time we left somewhere... for example:
When I left my office, a notification would show up in a banner showing an estimated time home.
A less repetitive example - if we left the mall after a movie at a random time, it would also show the same notification (I'm assuming b/c it knew we were in my car).
In the morning when I left for work I would get the same notification showing me time to work
Etc... you get the point.
I've ensured all location services are enabled, frequent locations are on, and notifications are on - and they have been since we upgraded. So the new phones have had a chance to see our habits and frequent locations.
I loved that feature... I never did anything, it just enabled on its own and it was handy to say the least. I know it can be mimicked with apps like ETA, but I can't figure out why those stopped. Any help is appreciated!
