I took off for a VFR flight down the Hudson River Exclusion. I did not file a VFR flight plan since the Exclusion is a CTAF and has required reporting points. The flight was uneventful. We traveled southbound then turned around and returned northbound through the Exclusion.After exiting the Exclusion and clearing the JFK Class B airspace we turned toward Long Island and headed to WST. I had my iPad with current ForeFlight subscription blue-toothed to my ADSB in/out transponder; my Garmin 530 with current database and a portable Garmin GPS device. On ForeFlight and the portable Garmin GPS device; TFRs are displayed and warnings pop up if you are close. Today I realized that the TFR feature had been inadvertently turned off so I became concerned about the flight. I tried to research past TFRs but I cannot find a list of previous TFRs. As it stands I do not know if I violated any TFRs on that day. I am also unclear as to whether the pop up warning for a TFR will occur if the specific feature is not selected on the iPad. I am filing this report as a precaution since I am unable to find a list of the past active TFRs. In the future I will double check that the TFR feature is selected on my devices and I am planning to further educate myself through faasafety.gov.
GA pilot reported a possible TFR infraction after realizing the avionics TFR feature was turned off.
