The feature will be handy if youâve ever had any desire to remember your holiday street-by-street.
âWeâre gradually rolling out Your Timeline, a useful way to remember and view the places youâve been on a given day, month or year,â Google product manager Gerard Sanz said in a blog post on Tuesday.
âYour Timeline allows you to visualise your real-world routines, easily see the trips youâve taken and get a glimpse of the places where you spend your time.â
The timeline is private and visible only to users who are able to edit and delete the locations visited.
Location names can also be edited in the feature.
Photos geotagged during trips will also appear in the timeline.
Your Timeline is available on desktop and android mobiles.
