Water is wet.

<Previously, the page stated: “With Location History off, the places you go are no longer stored.”

<The AP observed that the change occurred midday Thursday, a finding confirmed by Internet Archive snapshots taken earlier in the day.

<The AP investigation found that even with Location History turned off, Google stores user location when, for instance, the Google Maps app is opened, or when users conduct Google searches that aren’t related to location. Automated searches of the local weather on some Android phones also store the phone’s whereabouts.

"Don't be evil" was never Google's motto.

This is the future you chose.
