Google Maps Timeline Backup

If you are a Google Maps user, you will have received messages from Google banging on about losing your timeline unless you switch to local storage. Ring any bells? You need to do this otherwise you will lose all your maps travel history.

​This worries me for a couple of reasons. I won't be able to see my history on other devices like my PC or laptop and if the data is no longer in the cloud, there is no automatic backup.

​Well, it turns out you can still back it up to the cloud and it’s dead easy.
How to Enable Cloud Backup:

1. Open Google Maps: Launch the Google Maps app on your device.
2. Access Timeline: Tap on your profile picture in the top right corner and select "Your Timeline."
3. Enable Cloud Backup: Look for the cloud icon in the top right corner and tap on it to enable the backup feature.

This sorts out both of my concerns and fingers crossed they don’t change things again.
