Location History is now called Timeline, and you now have new choices for your data.
- To continue using Timeline, you must have an up-to-date version of the Google Maps app. Otherwise, you may lose data and access to your Timeline on Google Maps.
- If you're a new Timeline user, learn how to get started for the first time.
You can edit or delete your visits or routes in Google Maps Timeline on your device. Please remember:
- Timeline isn't available on Android Go devices.
- If you edit or delete your Timeline data on one device, those changes won’t be reflected on other devices.
- When you delete Timeline data, it will be permanently deleted and can’t be recovered. You may still have Timeline data on another device and Timeline backups.
Timeline for web browsers will be going away
Since the data shown on your Timeline comes directly from your device, Timeline won’t be available on Maps on your computer after you move your data. To move your data to your device, download the Google Maps app.
How to keep your existing Timeline data
Important: Make sure you have Google Maps app version 6.93 or up, or update your Google Maps app.
To keep your existing Timeline data, you must update your settings:
- You’ll receive a push notification, email message, or in-app notification about Timeline.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
- Tap Done.
Your data will be moved to the device based on the settings you chose. If you want to import your data to a different device, you can turn on backup.
If you don’t update your settings by the deadline in the emails and notifications you receive, you may lose some or all of your Timeline data, like your visits and routes.
For more info, refer to the email from Google Location History.
Back up your Timeline data
You can automatically back up your Timeline if you need to switch devices. When you back up your Timeline data, it saves an encrypted copy of your data on Google’s servers.
Important: It can take a few days for changes to your Timeline to reflect in a backup.
