Google Maps users are facing an ongoing issue with disappearing Timeline data, leading to user frustration globally. The company confirmed a technical glitch has erased users' previously saved locations. Only those with cloud backups can restore their lost data, while others will permanently lose access. A Google spokesperson acknowledged the problem and advised users to check their backup status. Alongside this, Google has recently introduced updates to enhance the Maps and Waze apps, focusing on navigation improvements and safety features. The company also removed the 'follow' feature for businesses.
