*and then maybe sent it back to google anyways
I’ve always had location history disabled. I plan to keep it disabled.

What about “Location Accuracy”? Using WiFi and Bluetooth to higher accuracy on positioning?
I guess that’s on… fair enough, I’m sure Google has all my location data anyway :-P
Yup… We’re f—ed.
I hope I can select to store it on Google. What happens if I change phones?
Right in the title: “with encrypted cloud Backups”
Missed that somehow
But they have a copy of the key.
@ijeff who cares if it will still be using this data for advertising…
@petrescatraian it does? @ijeff
@utzer It currently does, afaik. That’s why I turned this off long ago, even though I found the feature quite useful. I might use it again in the future though if there will be credible signs this will no longer be the case.
For now, there are plenty of self-tracking apps if you’re into this. I personally use Transistor when I am going on hikes or various trips. It’s great if you want to have a journal of places with gpx tracks.
Is there anything as open as Transistor, but also as advanced as Google Timeline? I need snap-to-road (that’d be even better with OpenStreetMap data since their roads are way more accurate) and picking a mode of transportation (on foot, by bike etc.)
@ZiemekZ not sure if it has snap-to-road, but OpenTracks has multiple types of activities if you use it for fitness (it has driving as well for some reason). Organic Maps also allows you to record your own routes.
