What Google Timeline revealsįirst, let’s take a look at some of the information being tracked. We’ll show you how to do turn it off, delete, pause, and edit your tracking history. Individuals can turn off Google’s location tracking, but most don’t. “The personal privacy implications are pretty clear but so are the law enforcement applications,” the document reads. Investigators are able to subpoena an enormous amount of information about a person’s past, according to a new law-enforcement report titled “Google Timelines: Location Investigations Involving Android Devices” that was obtained by the Intercept. But if you're willing to let Google stay on your tail, Your Timeline can be a neat feature to chronicle your daily commutes and bigger trips.Police can now access years of data on every exact location of Android smartphone users down to the minute, thanks to Google’s Timeline feature. If it makes you uncomfortable, simply shut off Location History to stop Google from tracking your locations. That said, I absolutely understand the privacy concerns that Your Timeline brings up, even though the data is only available for you to view. Though Google has faced a lot of scrutiny over tracking your location and showing it in Your Timeline, I think the feature is a neat way to automatically create a record of your travels.
