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.
More likely that they know of all the data they gather this is the most privacy defying, and impossible to anonymise so they’re fixing it before the EU forces them to.
