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.
In the set up there’s an option to make an encrypted backup to your Google account if you want to hold onto it.
