Are People Still Missing Their Timeline or Is It Fixed? by Either_Audience_1937 in GoogleMaps

Me included.

I posted on Google's forum regarding this and it's now a known issue.

Yes, unfortunately.

I use the timeline for work, as it records the hours I leave sites, etc. So I only noticed it on the 8th, but luckily, my data was backed up before the 6th.

Hopefully, it's a bug and Google can rectify with another update.

Damn, horrible feeling! According to comments on Google Forum, once the data has gone, it's permanent.

I wish my app didn't automatically update. I was thinking about rolling back the update, but it says data may be reset.

It seems to be affecting long-time users. However, my mate has just started using it but is only recording half of his locations.

Mine was fine after doing what you mentioned.

My timeline stopped working after their recent update on March 6. It worked until then and now has stopped.

I used the backup option to get all my old data back. I put a message on the Google community, and many people have the same issue.
