Google will start deleting location history

Google announced that it will reduce the amount of personal data it is storing by automatically deleting old data from “Timeline” the feature that. In an email, Google told users that they will have until December 1, 2024 to save all travels to their mobile devices before the company starts deleting old data. Moving forward, Google will link the Location information to the devices you use, rather than to the user account(s). If you want to keep using Timeline:

• Open Google Maps on your device.
• Tap your profile picture (or initial) in the upper right corner.
• Choose Your Timeline.
• Select whether to keep you want to keep your location data until you manually delete it or have Google auto-delete it after 3, 18, or 36 months.

In April of 2023, Google Play launched a series of initiatives that gives users control over the way that separate, third-party apps stored data about them.
