FAQs​

Q1: What types of locations are shown in Location History?
  • Saved Locations: Manually bookmarked addresses or points of interest.
  • Visited Locations: Automatically logged stops when using Trip Tracker or Live Location Sharing.
  • Tracked Locations: Times when you fetched or shared your live location without saving.
Q2: How often is Location History updated?

Location History refreshes each time you complete a Trip Tracker session, use Live Location Sharing, or manually save a location. Pull down on the list to refresh manually.

Q3: Can I delete multiple entries at once?

No. At present, Location History supports deleting one entry at a time. Long-pressing multiple entries is not supported.

Q4: Will deleting a location affect my Trip Tracker records?

No. Deleting individual history entries does not alter your past Trip Tracker session logs. Each Trip Tracker session is archived separately until you choose to remove it from Location History.
