Google timeline Android

J_B

I used to be able to see my Google Timeline on my Android (12) Moto G 31 phone but since the latest "upgrade" I can't seem to find it anyhow.

Can anyone advise?

See Google Maps.
Press your initial(s) top right and there it is.

That's how it used to work, but now .....

I just went into Google Maps and I can see it.

Do you have Location History on in your Google account?

J_B  At the bottom of your image where I think the options are Explore, You and Contribute, tap on You and you should find a link to Timeline.

I've had location history on for years

I always used to be able to see it on my phone fine AND on my PC https://www.google.co.in/maps/timeline?

As per my photo, that option is not there.

Did you update to the latest version of Google Maps application and then to import your Timeline data to the specific device?

Google is making changes this year. They are no longer storing Timeline on their servers, but on the specific device.

It is there in your photo, but you have something else open and partially on top of it.

My G Maps is version 11.150

I can see every Timeline day on my PC going back to June 2013 (how sad is that!) but not on my phone.

On that above it says:-

Import your Timeline data from a backup

To move an existing backup to a different device or import your Timeline on a new device, you can import your Timeline data from a backup: 

1. On your Android phone, open the Google Maps app .
2. Tap your profile picture or initial   Your Timeline.
3. At the upper right, tap the cloud .
4. From the “Your backups” section, select a device.
5. Tap More   Import.
6. On the “Import Timeline from backup” screen, tap Import.

But sadly when I get to #2 "Your Timeline" isn't showing! (see my photo in post 3)
