 Take action to keep your visits |  | Hi Mahwo, | | You have Timeline turned on for your account, 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. This is a reminder that Timeline is changing. Now, 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. Because of these changes, you need to choose new settings to avoid losing Timeline data.  | What you need to do 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.
