Warning for all Google Maps users to act before Sunday ahead of 'deadline'
A warning has been issued to ALL Google users as data is deleted from accounts in HOURS unless they act now. Google Maps has a Timeline feature - previously known as Location History - which keeps a record of any you've been to via the app.
"This is a reminder that Timeline is changing," Google said in a recent warning email, as it sets a Sunday deadline. "Now, if you choose to keep Timeline on, all of your devices will save new visits on their own Timelines - including any devices that previously had Location History reporting turned off.
"Because of these changes, you need to choose new settings to avoid losing Timeline data." Open Google Maps on your Android device and tap the You tab at the bottom of the app, then choose Explore Timeline.

Tap Next on the card that pops up alerting you of the change, choose how many months worth of Timeline data you want to keep on your device, and choose if you want to continue sending user data to Google.
Then tap Done. You can automatically back up your Timeline if you need to switch devices. When you back up your Timeline data, it saves an encrypted copy of your data on Google's servers.
It can take a few days for changes to your Timeline to reflect in a backup. Generally, data will be moved to your device within a couple of hours. However, if you moved your data when your device had poor network connection or low battery, it can take up to a few days for your data to appear.
Go to Activity controls and check your auto-delete setting, which determines how much data is moved to your device. If you moved your data to your device and selected auto-delete activity older than 3 months, 18 months or 36 months, any data beyond that time period has been deleted and can't be recovered.

SES's O3b mPOWER System Receives Platinum Space Sustainability Rating
Assessment based on an in-depth analysis of more than 65 parameters across deployment, operations, and end-of-life disposal of the O3b mPOWER mission LUXEMBOURG, June 02, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--O3b mPOWER, SES's second-generation medium earth orbit (MEO) system, has been awarded the Platinum badge by the Space Sustainability Rating (SSR) Association. This is the highest possible SSR rating tier, and has been awarded to the O3b mPOWER constellation of 13 high-throughput and low-latency satellites, eight of which are already in orbit. The O3b mPOWER mission was assessed across all phases: deployment, operations, and end-of-life disposal. The Platinum rating for O3b mPOWER was based on an in-depth analysis of more than 65 parameters, including: satellite count, orbital region, collision avoidance strategies, adherence to recognised design and operational standards, and SES's overall approach to data sharing and transparency. SES is the second operator to receive a Platinum rating from the SSR, and the sixth to be officially rated. Rather than evaluating individual satellites in isolation, the SSR assesses the aggregate sustainability impact of the entire constellation and considers how satellites interact, operate collectively, and contribute to the broader space environment. This recognition indicates that the O3b mPOWER constellation demonstrates minimal impact on the orbital environment beyond what is necessary for mission success and reflects SES's strong commitment to sustainable space operations and adherence to internationally accepted best practices in space sustainability. Prof. Jean-Paul Kneib, President of the SSR Association, Academic Director of EPFL Space Center and Head of the Laboratory of Astrophysics (LASTRO), said, "The Space Sustainability Rating provides an independent benchmark to encourage transparency among space actors, promote best practices in space missions, and support the long-term preservation of the orbital environment. The Platinum rating awarded to the O3b mPOWER constellation reflects SES's strong alignment with the SSR's criteria across the full mission lifecycle. We celebrate this recognition for the O3b mPOWER constellation and SES's contribution to a safer, more responsible, and resilient satellite ecosystem. As the SSR continues to evolve, it aims to drive positive change across the space sector by highlighting leadership in space sustainability—such as that demonstrated by SES—and to encourage the global space community to make informed, sustainability-focused decisions." Milton Torres, Chief Technology Officer of SES, said, "For 40 years, SES has been driving responsible best practices and developing new technologies, partnerships and solutions contributing to sustainable space. This Platinum badge not only highlights our leadership in sustainable space operations but also reinforces our commitment to responsible and innovative practices in the space industry, while supporting long-term space sustainability for all spacecraft operators."

Created in consultation with industry, policy, and academic stakeholders, the SSR encourages responsible behavior in space by evaluating missions against a set of transparent sustainability criteria. The SSR provides a comprehensive framework for assessing the sustainability of space missions, identifying areas for improvement, and offering operators a chance to communicate their sustainability practices through independent, badge-based ratings: Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum. Each SSR rating also includes actionable recommendations to guide operators in enhancing sustainability practices over time. This approach empowers responsible space actors to continuously evolve their mission strategies and set new benchmarks for space stewardship.
