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.

    I’m sure they’re doing this not for user privacy but simply because they’re going to save a lot of money in server expenses and they didn’t find a good way to monetize that data
