» Keep your Timeline? Decide by December 1, 2024
Hi Mahwo, | You previously turned on the Timeline setting—formerly called Location History —which helps you go back in time and remember where you've been. With Timeline, your visits and routes are automatically saved to a map on each of your devices. Timeline is changing and will now be created on your device. As part of this: to avoid losing your visits and routes, you'll need to choose settings for your data by December 1, 2024. | How it works Your signed-in smartphones will save visits in Timeline when this setting is on. But starting today, if you choose to keep Timeline on, all of your devices will save new visits on their own Timelines — including any devices that previously had Location History reporting turned off. | | What you need to do If you'd like to keep your saved visits and routes, choose your settings on your preferred smartphone by December 1, 2024. (You may first need to update the Google Maps app.) After you do this, you'll only be able to use Timeline in the app. If you take no action, your visits and routes will be deleted, and your Timeline settings will be turned off after December 1, 2024. Until December 1, 2024 — if you haven't finished choosing your settings — your devices will keep saving Timeline data, and Google will continue using your data based on how Location History works today. Learn about how Location History is used. | | | About Timeline Timeline helps you go back in time, and remember where you've been, by automatically saving your visits and routes to a map on each of your devices.
