Google Maps Shifts to On-Device Location Storage for Enhanced Privacy

Users must save their Timeline data locally by December 1, 2024, as Google transitions away from cloud storage.

Google Maps will store location history data on users' devices instead of in the cloud.
The Timeline feature will no longer be accessible via the web, only through mobile devices.
Users have until December 1, 2024, to save their existing Timeline data locally.
Location data older than 90 days will be deleted if not saved to a device.
Google aims to improve privacy by reducing stored location data on its servers.
