PSA: Google may soon start deleting your Timeline or Location History in Google Maps. If you want to save it, better export it soon.
Users have been getting emails from Google about Google Maps Timeline data older than three months deletion unless they choose otherwise. Some people are given a deadline to make their decision: some are seeing November 19, while others are seeing a December 1 deadline. A link to retain your location history is present in the email, but it seems like this option is deleting Timeline data for some people anyway.
In December 2023, Google announced a big change to its Timeline location history feature in Google Maps. The change is that Google Maps will start saving your location history on-device, after years of storing it on the cloud. The deadline for this change is now approaching.
Android Authority has noticed some users are receiving an email notifying them that the changes will take place from November 19. Previously, it was reported that December 1 would be the deadline for this change, but it seems different users are getting different dates.
