  • Timeline, the journey and location tracking function of Google Maps, will soon switch to local storage
  • Google will delete all Timeline data older than 3 months by default
  • The official solution is deleting data for some users

Google is gearing up to implement changes to its location-tracking Maps feature that will see users’ previous location history erased unless quick action is taken.

As we previously reported, in December 2023 Google announced that location history gathered via the Timeline feature built into the Google Maps app would be moved from cloud storage to on-device storage by the end of 2024.
