A year and a half ago, Google Maps changed their location history feature so that it (a) isn't available in the web app, (b) isn't even saved anywhere other than your phone without explicit intervention on your part, and (c) has a very limited UI compared to how it was before.

Yesterday I got a new phone and transferred everything over, incorrectly assuming this would include my location history, or that at least I had been backing it up (since I definitely explicitly opted into the backup system). Having finished with all of that, I factory reset my old phone, packed it up in the trade-in box, and sent it along. Of course, turns out that the history didn't get transferred and the phone hadn't backed anything up for six months, so now I have no record of where I've been for most of the last six months.

They claimed that this was for "increased privacy and control", but I'd bet at 3:1 that they still use my session geolocation history for advertising, and will happily hand it over to law enforcement if asked. So it feels kind of like everybody has access to it except me.
