Google is making some changes in Google Maps that will increase user privacy.Data from the Timeline feature in Google Maps, which is controlled by the Location History setting and keeps a record of routes and trips users have taken, will soon be stored directly on users' devices instead of by Google.That means Google itself will no longer have access to user location history data. And by extension, neither will law enforcement, which has often requested user location data from Google — for example, through "geofence" orders, which request data about every user who was near a specific place at a specific time.
