Google will ask for your confirmation to delete the data. Confirm the deletion and data before the set time will be deleted. For example, if you selected three months, your location history older than three months will be deleted.
When Location History is off, your device’s locations will not be automatically saved to your Location History. However, when you turn on Location History for a Google Account, your phone or tablet will still automatically save a record of your location whenever you turn on the device or sign in to Google apps like Search and Maps. As you can see above, turning location records on and off is very easy, and all must remember to go into your Google Activity to do it. We hope this article has been useful to you.
