Bullet points taken from article:

  • Google is shutting down the Google Maps Timeline feature on June 9, 2025.
  • Personal Maps timelines will be saved on individual devices instead of the cloud beginning on that date.
  • Users should begin the migration to on-device Timeline data before June or risk losing all of their past Maps data.

I’m pleased that this potentially sensitive information is moving on-device instead of on Google servers.

    They could even have an approved hardware list like they do for DDR5 motherboards and just reject cards that don’t meet the approval list.

    that’s the way to make arbitrary limitations around it accepted by everyone, like only being “compatible” with same brand cards

      You’re not wrong. But instead, they choose to be compatible with nothing. Instead you buy only from them with your phone.
