The app will now store Timeline data to your phone
TechRadar 1:15 pm on June 10, 2024
Timeline data for Google Maps will now be stored locally rather than server-side, potentially affecting user accessibility. The feature, previously available on the web, will cease from December 2024 unless users transfer data beforehand; otherwise, older timelines may be lost.
- Local Data Storage: Google's Maps Timeline shift to local storage, affecting legacy access.
- Impending Deletion: Web-based Timeline data will be deleted after December 2024 unless migrated locally.
- Potential Data Loss: Users might lose historical Map interactions if not proactive in transferring data.
- Immediate Action Needed: Active steps are required to preserve Timeline history before the deadline.
