- Google has sent an email to some users saying that it accidentally deleted Google Maps Timeline data.

- Unfortunately, you’re out of luck if you didn’t have Timeline backups enabled.
Update: March 22, 2025 (11:30 AM ET): Google has issued a statement to Android Authority, confirming that a technical issue resulted in Timeline data being deleted for some users. The statement indeed notes that people with Timeline backups enabled should be able to restore their data, but there’s bad news if you didn’t have backups enabled to begin with.
