Google Maps: Soon, you will not see location history timeline on web maps

Google is making modifications in the way location data of users is stored. Google had announced in December that the location history collected by its Maps app will not be stored on the cloud, but on users’ device storage. Now, the rollout has reportedly started in batches. With location data stored on-device, the location history will be available in the form of a timeline on the Android and iOS devices.

However, browser-based Google Maps will no longer show location history timeline since the data will not be saved on cloud. This new feature will allow users to have better control over their location data and store it locally on their device.
