I’ll believe it when I see it.
And since there’s no way for me to “see it”, I don’t believe it.
Just like that? No catch?
I guess the catch is the fact that they don’t really need it. They have real time location from any Android device anyways (because of that feature that sends the lists of wifi networks around you from time to time), no need to storage the timeline on their servers, it’s only duplicate data. lol
Turn that off with (on pixel / aosp) Settings, Location, Location services, turn both to off.
It was kinda cool for some things.
Like seeing where I went on October 14, 2018.
Or how many times I visited the “Steve’s Spaghetti Store”.
I’m not buying it.
Curious on the implementation. For example apps like signal and WhatsApp require you to either move or lose your data when you get a new phone. This will have to be the way Google implements or they are storing it somewhere on their servers.
Maybe they don’t store it anymore, they just send it straight to the feds
When big tech says they no longer need something, it means they have something even better. When they say they give you options, they mean dark patterns. Anytime you click ‘Decline’ it might as well be ‘Accept all’. Rapist mentality of big corpos.
I doubt it too
