New Features

Google Maps Timeline

You can now optionally store historic location information on the device for use in Google Maps. This feature is turned off by default and can be enabled in Location settings. Also optionally, you can enable support for synchronizing the location history information across your devices via your Google account. For this synchronization, the data itself is technically encrypted, but Google could inject additional "devices" to perform a MITM attack to read your data.

Notes

microG GmsCore now requests a few additional privileged permissions. As always, privileged permissions are optional for microG and you can continue using microG as an unprivileged app with only minor downsides. The new privileged permissions are:

• android.permission.DUMP

New Contributors

• @GN998 made their first contribution in #3548
