A year ago, Google announced plans to save people's Location History, which it now calls Timeline, locally on devices rather than on its servers.
Privacy advocates hailed the move as a way to address the proliferation of geofence warrants - law enforcement demands seeking location data for everyone within a given area during some period.
The company explains: 'If settings like Web and App Activity are on but you turn off Location History... your Google Account may still save location data as part of your use of other Google sites.'
Google changed the default retention period - for Timeline/Location History and Web & App Activity... to three months, down from 18 months, with the option to disable auto-deletion.
