Realme: Turn Google Location History On or Off

If Google Maps Timeline shows blank days or never remembers the places you visited, Location History is probably switched off for your Google account. If you would rather stop your Realme phone from reporting your movements to Google at all, the same setting is what you need to check. Either way, the toggle sits inside your Google account settings, not in a separate Realme menu.

Turn Google Location History On or Off auf Realme

Google Location History logs where your Realme phone has been so Google Maps can build a Timeline and offer personalized suggestions. This data is stored in your Google account, not on the device itself, which is why the toggle lives inside the Google app rather than in a dedicated Realme menu.

To check or change it, go to Tap on SettingsTap on PrivacyTap on AdvancedTap on Google location history. From there you land in your Google account activity controls, where you can switch the tracking on or pause it.

Turning it off stops new location points from being saved, but it does not delete entries already recorded. If you only want to hide the Timeline feature without losing the data, pausing rather than deleting is usually the better option.

Keep in mind that some Google services, like traffic predictions or personalized map suggestions, rely on this history. Disabling it can make those features less accurate, even though core navigation with Google Maps keeps working normally.

Frequently asked questions

No. This setting only controls what Google stores in your account. Realme system features like GPS-based apps or Find My Device use location separately and are managed under SettingsLocation.
