- Google has been sending out emails warning users that any Timeline data older than three months will be deleted unless you choose otherwise.
- The deadline for this change is as soon as November 19, although some users have also seen a December 1 deadline.
- The email includes a link to retain your location history, but it looks like this option is nuking Timeline data for some people.
Update, November 14, 2024 (12:53 PM ET): Confused about how much time you have left to move your Timeline data over to your phone? You’re not alone, and it turns out there’s a very good reason for why everyone seems to have a different answer. Google explains in a statement to Android Authority:
As we shared in our blog post, this update is rolling out gradually. This means people will see different deletion deadlines, approximately six months from when they were first notified about this change to their account.
