They can still access it locally, if Google wanted to protect people then they wouldn’t store location data

How about the case where I explicitly want them to store my location data? I mean I really use and like that feature.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Then store it on the local device where its encrypted.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's what they're doing now.

But it has been encrypted for years.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I want them to. I opted in and use that feature.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

that is possible with the current google settings

it is not default. but it is possible.
